The battle to keep QuebecTorrent open against a legal attack by the CRIA and 30 other media organizations, is over. The site has complied with a permanent injunction handed down by the Superior Court of Quebec. The recording industry has dropped its claim for $200,000 damages.
QuebecTorrent, the Canadian-based BitTorrent tracker has lost its legal battle against the Canadian recording industry.
Targeted in 2007, they faced the combined resources of the CRIA, ADISQ and APFTQ (the TV and movie companies) - and CIRPA. In all, 31 organizations went after QuebecTorrent, demanding $200,000 in punitive damages.
They ordered that the admin, Sébastien Br?lotte, aka ‘Doditz’, should close the site and never again engage in any similar activity, and post a message clearly indicating the closure of the site. At the time, Doditz didn’t comply. The full details of the case are available in an interview we conducted back in January.
