LokiTorrent fights MPAA legal attack

A follow-up to the Suprnova story I wrote about earlier, BitTorrent file sharing site LokiTorrent has promised to fight the attack launched by the MPAA:

LokiTorrent, a Web site and index of files available through a peer-to-peer technology known as BitTorrent, posted a letter from the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) on its site on Tuesday. The letter states that the MPAA has filed suit in district court in Texas against the site and demands that Loki Torrent cease linking to video files that could infringe on studios’ copyrights.

“If you’ve ever benefited from this site or file-sharing in general, now is the time to show your support,” a message on LokiTorrent stated. “We are looking at a cost of $30K per month in fees.” So far, the site has garnered nearly $18,000, or about 60 percent of the total needed for a month, according to a bar graph on the site.
