MPAA ACCUSED OF HIRING A HACKER
 

"A lawsuit filed Wednesday accuses the Motion Picture Association of America
of hiring a hacker to steal information from a company that the MPAA has
accused of helping copyright violators.

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Central District of
California by Torrentspy.com parent Valence Media, doesn't identify the man
the company says was approached by an MPAA executive. But the suit calls
the man a former associate of one of the plaintiffs and alleges that he was
asked to retrieve private information on Torrentspy.com, a search engine
that directs people to download links."
