The Motion Picture Association of America
suggests popular Bittorrent tracker site The Pirate Bay pay $15.4 million in damages for aiding in the public distribution of four movies and thirteen television episodes. Add the amount to $2.5 million in damages already requested by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, plus another $1.1 million by Sweden's Anti-Piracy Agency.
Pirate Bay’s Peter Sunde (Brokep) is not impressed by Hollywood's claims, he told TorrentFreak in a response: "They know they are losing, and try to make us look like big criminals by adding some zeros to a claim for a made-up crime."
"The worst thing is that I lost 100 kronor on a bet on the number they would come up with," Sunde added. "And, it sucks that they didn’t claim more than for Napster and the other sites. It’s cooler to break the record."
