MPAA Secretly Settled With Hotfile for $4 Million, Not $80 Million
Found on TorrentFreak on Monday, 29 December 2014
Buried in one of the Sony leaks is an email conversation which confirms that the real settlement payment from Hotfile was just $4 million, just a fraction of the amount widely publicized in the press.
The huge difference between the public settlement figure and the amount that was negotiated also puts previous cases in a different light. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that the $110 million settlement with isoHunt and the $110 deal with TorrentSpy were just paper tigers too.
Lies. Everything you hear from the entertainment industry turns out to be a lie. You just cannot trust anything they say. It's no surprise that people get fed up with them and look for better ways to get entertainment.
