They wanted to attack a target they felt they could shut down and who did not have the money to defend themselves. What they did in fact was fail spectacularly and drive even more traffic to the pirate bay. I can search now on google and find lots and lots of links that do exactly what the pirate bay does. Here's a question WHY have they not taken Google to court for hosting torrent links ????

MONEY would be the answer and that's something Google has in abundance to pay for very very good lawyers, lawyers that would ensure that google would win but not before there is a lot of money spent on the court case. The movie industry will not take on anyone they feel they might lose against because they don't have the balls
