A lawsuit filed on Wednesday, that if proven true in court, would put the MPAA in some hot water. In the PDF document linked below, we can read details of the accusation, that the MPAA knowingly hired a person for $15,000, to steal information in an effort obtain evidence of Torrentspy helping copyright violators. This includes hacking into their servers and even reading private emails.

The lawsuit has been filed by Valence Media, the parent company of Torrentspy. They are claiming, an unidentified person was approached by an MPAA executive and was asked to retrieve private information on Torrentspy.com, a search engine that directs people to download links. In the process, they say laws were broken. The MPAA is denying the allegations.

Torrentspy's complaint includes claims that the man whom the MPAA allegedly paid $15,000 to steal e-mail correspondence and trade secrets has admitted his role in the plot and is cooperating with the company.
