It’s official. The corporate music industry ruins everything.

News has emerged that Gary Fung, Vancouver resident and founder of the once-popular torrent search engine isoHunt, has reached a $66 million settlement in the lawsuit brought against him by Music Canada.

Launched in 2003, isoHunt allowed 51 million users to search for music, movies and video games and download them for free by BitTorrenting: a peer-to-peer file sharing system that divides a large file into small components, sourced from multiple computers.

First coming under fire in 2009, isoHunt faced a hefty lawsuit in the U.S.A. from the Motion Picture Association of America. A year later, the Canadian Record Industry filed its legal complaint. Officially ceasing operations in 2013, Fung has since been embroiled in a long series of court battles to defend claims that he had infringed copyright.

In a post on Medium.com, Fung said that he’s happy to see the end to the legal disputes.

“In my time with isoHunt for 11 years, I’ve fought two lawsuits,” his blog post reads.

“During this time, up to isoHunt’s shutdown in 2013, I promised that I’d protect isoHunt users’ rights and privacy in not disclosing any user data such as email and IP addresses in legal discovery from plaintiffs, which might be used for trolling and extortion.”

Accepting the verdict, Fung thanked his lawyers for helping him throughout his legal battles, and thanked users for being a part of the file-sharing service.

Calling the ordeal “an interesting and challenging journey,” Fung added that he’s ready to move on to bigger things, developing an app that automates Googling by collating information from multiple online searches.

And remember, free music lovers. isoHunt might be out for the count—but if you still haven't gotten hold of Beyoncé’s new record, there’s always KickassTorrents, Torrenthound, and, of course The Pirate Bay. Because who’s honestly going to pay for TIDAL.
