A settlement with the <a href="/wiki/MPAA" class="mw-redirect" title="MPAA">MPAA</a> was reached in 2013, stipulating a $110 million reimbursement for damages and the site's closure that followed on October 21, 2013.<sup id="cite_ref-110million-TF_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-110million-TF-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=IsoHunt&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>isoHunt was founded in January 2003 by Gary Fung, a Canadian national.

It is down until further notice. </p><p>In early 2010, users in the US and along south eastern Canada were redirected to a stripped-down version called isoHunt Lite in order to remove some of the factors that were used in determining liability for infringement; however, full access was restored in early 2012. </p><p>The website was banned in India in 2012 for copyright violations, this led to incidents of hacking activism by <a href="/wiki/Anonymous_(hacker_group)" title="Anonymous (hacker group)">Anonymous</a> demanding its unblocking along with other websites which had been blocked.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In October 2013 Isohunt announced it would shut down indefinitely. After years of court battles over copyright infringement with the MPAA, Isohunt agreed to a settlement. Under the terms of the settlement Isohunt will shut down the site, and close three other sites that redirect to the Isohunt domain: Podtropolis, TorrentBox, and Edtk-it.com.
