MPAA say: "Don't bother with data when it comes to actual damages!"
http://j.mp/18m6T3n (Torrent Freak)
In a new filing submitted to a California federal court, the MPAA
says that actual piracy damages "are not capable of meaningful
measurement." The group fears that looking at actual damages in
the isoHunt case would be "perverse" and "unfair." What the MPAA
can measure, however, is how much it will take to bankrupt the
BitTorrent search engine isoHunt. According to the movie studios,
two to five million dollars will be enough to put the Canadian
company out of business.
