MPAA International Piracy War Yields Two Key Wins
The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) recently announced that two major piracy websites, Popcorn Time and YTS, were shuttered following pro-MPAA court rulings in Canada and New Zealand. Taken together, the MPAA said, the two sites represented “copyright infringement worldwide on a massive scale.”
“By shutting down these illegal commercial enterprises, which operate on a massive global scale, we are protecting not only our members' creative work and the hundreds of innovative, legal digital distribution platforms, but also the millions of people whose jobs depend on a vibrant motion picture and television industry,” former Senator Chris Dodd, chairman and CEO of the MPAA, said in a statement.
