isoHunt has sprung back to life again, just days after being shutdown by its former US ISP without warning. According to the information that was posted on the website and going by a lookup on the website's IP, the website is now hosted in Canada. Going by its front page now, it is as if it never went down at all, as its last news is dated December 27th, 2006, long before the shutdown.

So far, most other BitTorrent websites that were sued have either been completely shutdown (often with a warning message about piracy in its place) or have tried relaunching as an unsuccessful alternative (such as eXeem replacing SuprNova). However, despite the MPAA filing a lawsuit against isoHunt and its temporary shutdown, this is clearly one website that is not willing to give up easily.

They make huge profit on the advertisements, I remember a article about piratebay making millions.

In the end, its all about the money.

Yeah, I know. I posted that article here. I guess if they didn't make money they wouldn't do it in the firtst place. So it's a win-win situation for us and them (although they win a bit more... Wink )
