Most of you will be familiar with isohunt.com. We are – we’ve used the filesharing website numerous times. Isohunt began as a small project for a guy named Gary Fung. He started the website to let people making files available through BitTorrent. The whole thing was quite new five year ago, but now, isohunt is a huge website and Gary Fung is the subject of a major lawsuit from Hollywood.
BitTorrent is one of the most popular methods of getting music downloads and movie downloads. Fung’s website receives 18 million visitors a month and there are links to more than 25 million files.
The Motion Picture Association of America has launched several lawsuits against Fung. While other filesharing websites have buckled under the pressure of lawsuits, Fung has vowed to take on all who oppose him.
Isohunt doesn’t actually host any of the files people have access to, so it’s difficult to see what the MPAA will achieve.
We’ll have to wait and see.
