Techdirt reports that the MPAA hired a hacker to break into TorrentSpy company to retrieve incriminating evidence. The hacker was able to obtain internal emails, financial records and company technology data. The best part of the story is that the hacker felt bad and fessed up to the activities. So now TorrentSpy is sueing the MPAA.

That’s awesome. MPAA taking the law into their own hands and breaking laws to try and prove that others are breaking the law. I admire the hacker a small bit for coming clean even though he sold out and became a criminal instead of a real hacker (real hackers are not criminals).
