Updates:
Scoretop site is closed and is taken over by GMAC. Following are the notes taken directly from www.mba.com
The Graduate Management Admission Council® was awarded a $2.35 million judgment by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia in a copyright infringement case against the operator of Scoretop.com, a U.S.-based Web site that sold access to questions used on the GMAT® exam. GMAC® seized the site’s domain name June 20, shut down the site, and obtained a hard drive containing subscriber information
Why did GMAC file the suit against Scoretop.com?
GMAC goes after those who try to cheat on the GMAT exam because the Council has an ethical responsibility to business schools and students to protect the integrity of the application process. GMAC sued Lei Shi and others who operated Scoretop.com, a Web site that offered forums where visitors could share information about the GMAT. The site promoted VIP memberships—$30 for 30 days of access—in which users were encouraged to read and post “JJs,” or live GMAT questions. “JJ” stands for “jungle juice,” or “jijings”—slang words for “the real thing.” The Council's investigation of the Web site revealed that some of the JJs contained real GMAT items.
Is GMAC going to cancel scores? How long will it take?
The initial focus is on those who disclosed live questions to Scoretop. If, as part of this investigation, there is compelling evidence of a test taker knowingly violating GMAC policy, GMAC may cancel GMAT scores and notify recipients of the cancellation. It is too soon to say how long the investigation will last, but GMAC will keep schools and students informed throughout the investigation.
I visited Scoretop, but the site claimed the questions were written by tutors. How was I to know they were live questions?
Scoretop promotions and numerous postings on the site touted the benefit of VIP membership as having access to live questions. If you accessed the site but did not pay for VIP memberships, you did not have access to “JJs” and, therefore, have nothing to worry about. However, when evidence indicates a test taker paid for VIP membership and sought and obtained live GMAT items, GMAC may cancel the test taker’s score and notify schools of the cancellation.
How do I know what test-prep material is legitimate and what’s fishy?
Any test preparation organization advertising “real GMAT items” is guilty of lying, stealing, or both. In preparing to take the GMAT test, you should steer clear of these organizations, as they can be harmful to your future. There are many reputable test-preparation organizations available that do not make these claims.
I understand Scoretop violated a copyright, but what did Scoretop’s VIP members do?
VIP members shared and/or had access to GMAT content, violating the terms they agree to when they register for the test and the agreement they sign at the testing center. Rules prohibiting improper or inadvertent access to test content are described in the terms and conditions of the GMAT Information Bulletin, which test takers agree to when they register for the test. Test takers are reminded of their obligations and agree not to access or share test content in the Testing Rules & Agreement and the Non-Disclosure Agreement at the testing center before they take the exam.
How much did people gain from accessing the questions?
Probably very little. The reliability of the test taker’s score is less in question than the ethical behavior of those trying to “game” the system. Even if a site is able to illegally obtain some “real” questions, it is extremely unlikely that anyone accessing the site will see the same questions on the live exam. The GMAT, a computer-adaptive test, has a bank of thousands of questions.
The Scoretop Web site has been up for a few years, so why did GMAC wait so long to pursue it?
GMAC worked with the FBI for several years documenting the evidence necessary to take action. During that time, Lei Shi was warned repeatedly to stop posting live questions to the site. Ultimately, while the FBI continued its investigation, GMAC decided to try to shut down the site via a civil suit, which was filed in June 2007. GMAC announced the ruling on June 20, 2008, as soon as it gained control of the Scoretop.com domain and hard drive.
Is GMAC going to pursue other Web sites?
Yes, GMAC is always looking at sites for possible violations of its intellectual property and will continue to investigate all Web sites that claim to post GMAT questions.
Did GMAC change the test as a result of the items exposed on Scoretop?
GMAC had been following Scoretop for some time and had removed the live questions found on the site from the GMAT question bank. No further changes need to be made at this time. The GMAT exam is continually monitored and reviewed.

Though scoretop.com was a good site but it was illegal....and breaking rules is not what we are expected to do. There are other sites to look out for...but please confirm that the are dont contain any GMAC copyright material.
I am mentioning a few:
www.urch.com
www.gmatclub.com
Guys and Gals...as the scoretop.com is down most of the very good material is lost forever but some of it(the material) you can get from the sites mentioned above...also if you are lucky then you will get all the material on www.esnips.com
My advice buy original GMAT material:
1) GMAT Official Guide 11th edition.
2) Manhattan Series for GMAT.
3) Princeton Review.
4) Kaplan
Happy GMATing......
