TorrentSpy already shut its doors earlier this year, and even though the company's founder Justin Bunnell insisted that it's trying legal loss was not behind the decision to close down the site, it appeared to be the only feasible reason for TorrentSpy moving towards oblivion. After a defeating battle against the MPAA, TorrentSpy was out of tricks for continuing to fight against the American Hollywood structure.

And if its own decision to shut things down wasn't enough to do that, then the $110 million judgment against its parent company, Valence Media, may just do the trick, reports Slyck. Being hit with such a hefty sum, even after closing down the site, is a sure fire way to send a message to TorrentSpy--and beyond.
