This is how I interpret what the MPAA really said today: “We could crush BitTorrent.com because it is functionally identical to other torrent search engines that we have crushed.

(W)ho the heck uses Bittorrent.com anyway? With ThePirateBay and many other engines in operation, this announcement is pure window dressing. It bookmarks a relationship between Cohen and the MPAA without making any actual news.
