Hollywood Sues to Shut Down Defiant MovieTube, Pirated-Film Streaming Site
Posted in: UncategorizedSeven film studios, including Walt Disney Co. and Time Warner’s Warner Brothers, asked a Manhattan federal court to shut down “MovieTube,” an online service that they accuse of brazenly violating their copyrights.
In a suit filed July 24 against dozens of unnamed people and companies, the studios say the defendants are behind 29 websites gathered under the “MovieTube” name that stream pirated copies of films and TV shows.
According to court papers, a notice on a Facebook page affiliated with MovieTube acknowledges that the streaming constitutes piracy and adds “luckily we are not a U.S. company so we do not need to respect U.S. laws.”
