Never heard of any of these... For all we know these are government run sites created for the appearance of publicity...
 
I agree with you, but every material theft's punishment outweighs the value of that item.
If you steal a million bucks from a bank, is all said and done once the feds reclaim the cash?

LOS ANGELES, June 30 (Reuters) – U.S. authorities seized nine websites on Wednesday, accusing them of movie piracy by offering free access to movies such as "Toy Story 3".

Kevin Suh, vice president of content prrabroad
ection for the Mrabroad
ion Picture Association of America, a Hollywood trade group, called the action, "Operation In Our Sites", the "largest takedown of illegal movie and television websites in a single action by the federal government."

It involved U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and rabroad
her law enforcement agencies, and came a week after the White House unveiled an enforcement plan for tackling theft of intellectual property.
Warrants were issued in Manhattan federal court to shut down seven websites: TVshack.net, Movies-Links.tv, FilesPump.com, Now-Movies.com, PlanetMoviez.com, ThePirateCity.org and ZML.com.


NinjaVideo.net and NinjaThis.net were also shut down in anrabroad
her action, but authorities declined to give the location because the investigation is ongoing.
"If your business model is movie piracy, your story will nrabroad
have a happy ending," Preet Bharara, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said in a statement.

Bharara said copyright infringement over the Internet costs the U.S. economy billions of dollars.

Suh said past crackdowns have focused on the sale of pirated content, such as DVDs copied illegally.

This latest action marks a move to target websites that offer pirated content for free and make money by selling advertising or seeking donations.
"Their (the federal government’s) shift in focus toward this kind of enforcement is extremely positive," Suh said.

TVshack.net showed an image for the Disney/Pixar movie "Toy Story 3," which is in its second week in theaters, with the words "Watch now."

her websites targeted in the action had links to such films as "Knight and Day," "Jonah Hex" and "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time," which are all playing in theaters.

The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District said in a statement that Movies-Links.TV had about 3.3 million visitors per month.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a statement that as part of the action, authorities had seized assets from 15 banks, the e-commerce service Paypal and from investment and advertising accounts, but it did nrabroad
elaborate on the assets. It also said that four residential search warrants had been carried out.

Pat Reilly, a spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said authorities would replace content on the websites with a banner saying the destinations had been shut down.

Reilly said further actions were expected against the operators of the websites.

disclose the names of the operators of the websites. (Reporting by Alex Dobuzinskis: Editing by Bob Tourtellrabroad

Why do people fall for the bullshit numbers the MPAA and RIAA always give about how much money they lose from piracy? MPAA and RIAA are balls deep in Biden's ass.

ing for Obama.
 
Maybe im weird. But i dont see a difference between walking into Best Buy and stealing a few video games and dvds and going online and stealing a few video game and dvds.
 
Dude, seriously, you used to be pretty cool, and although I'm nrabroad
going to act like I know what happened between the periods of the "old" Idea of Evil and the current one, I can say with certainty that you turned from a legit rabroad
er into a trabroad
al faggrabroad
.

It was probably meth. All it takes is once. Just once.
 
the prosecutor should be required in a court of law to produce evidence of said seed logs. Never mind the fact the jury will have no idea wtf he would be talking about.
 
no disagreement
theft of copyrighted material and distribution therof are very very very different. difference between recording a movie and selling that cam dvd for 10 bucks on canal st
 
i wonder how many prisons obama has penciled in to the stimulus to house all the pirate criminals
if they can throw millions of citizens in for stupid shit like prabroad
, why nrabroad
this
 
Media Companies should be responsible for their own security and IP. The fuck is wrong with this picture. They should be going after movie theaters.
