Yet another big win for the opposing forces of P2P/Bittorrent file sharing. The owner of IsoHunt, Gary Fung, looks like he’ll be facing some huge charges after he lost a lawsuit brought by movie studios. The strange thing is, Fung never rebutted the arguments against him. He simply said that IsoHunt was just another search engine, but that was quickly thrown out when the judge found that IsoHunt specifically catered to copyright material and that Fung himself mentioned that he sees nothing wrong with copyright infringement. Fung has the chance to appeal the ruling, but it hasn’t been said whether he will or not.

First there was The Pirate Bay, now IsoHunt. Could this mean that file sharing is taking a turn for the worse? Or will it keep going strong?
