If you want a behind the scenes look at what it is like to fight movie piracy and what lengths the MPAA will go in that fight, this article is for you.

In an exclusive interview with Wired News, gun-for-hire hacker Robert Anderson tells for the first time how the Motion Picture Association of America promised him money and power if he provided confidential information on TorrentSpy, a popular BitTorrent search site.

Very interesting article! Not really surprised by the lengths the MPAA will go to. I wonder how that guy set up their email routing though. He could control what messages they did or didn't receive? That's pretty powerful!
 
Sounds like the MPAA could have gotten into legal trouble if they didn't own over half the politicians in Congress.
 
So lets see here.

- Idiot's advertising deal with TorrentSpy goes bad
- Idiot decides to sell out TorrentSpy to MPAA, guesses a password and thinks he's l33t
- Idiot gets screwed by MPAA
- Idiot cries to TorrentSpy that he was a snitch so he wouldn't get sued.


Loser with a capitol L.
