isoHunt has been given some bad news just before Christmas. They have lost the lawsuit brought against them by US movie studios, and the judge in the case didn't even see fit to grant them a trial, instead giving a summary judgement as the judge felt that this case was similar to previous cases involving Napster and Grokster.
The court found isoHunt guilty of inducing infringement, and so it made it impossible for the website to use "safe harbor" provisions under the DMCA, which protects website operators as long as they take active steps to prevent piracy.
isoHunt still remains fully operation today, operating out of Canada. It is unknown at this stage whether isoHunt will appeal the decision.
