The 550K is peanuts compared to the 38 Million Corbin Fisher was asking for but the judge interpreted an offer to settle for 550K by Oron to be an enforceable contract. Thats the long and short of it. Oron got of VERY easy..
But they may not be coming back anytime soon, they have been down for almost a week and they lost their paypal but even more importantly word is they are losing their VISA/Mastercard certification, if that’s the case any idea of a return is dreaming.
The judge did order that Orons accounts remain frozen, presumably until Fisher is paid.

Considering they made MILLIONS of dollars, if all you have to pay is 550k and some legal fees when you get caught, it makes more sense to be in the file sharing business than in porn. Oron made millions of dollars and even if they never open again, they still came out on top of all of this as the winner.
Piracy pays.
