Netcraft: LokiTorrent Shuttered by MPAA Lawsuit
Topic: Intellectual Property 2:27 am EST, Feb 14, 2005

] The BitTorrent hub LokiTorrent has been shut down by a
] lawsuit from the Motion Picture Association of America
] (MPAA), with the eight-hour outage earlier today turning
] out to be the prelude to a closure. The site came back
] online briefly with BitTorrent-related content, but
] within hours that had been replaced by a notice from the
] MPAA.

They had collected $25,000 in user donations prior to the lawsuit. Apparently they had also been soliciting offers for their domain on auction site Sedo at the same time. Shady.

The MPAA now has their server logs and user information.
