So...any other news on it? Is he gonna sue or something?

[Ghostavo]

It seems that he didn't sue them but settled with them either removing (which they aparently did) the content or paying for the license.

Weirder is the MPAA's response.

The material has been removed from our Web server.

        * No Web links were ever provided to the blog.
        * The blog was never assigned a domain name.
        * The blog was never advertised to the public in any way.
        * The material on the server was a proof of concept awaiting approval to move into production.
        * The blog was only ever used for testing purposes.
        * Should we have decided to make the move to production, then we would have paid the 25 Pounds that would have authorized us to run a version of the blog without the logos and links.

So according to them, if you "acquire" a movie and get caught, you can get away with it by saying you planned to buy it later.

Yup, they've just given all the excuses they refuse to accept from other people.
