Distribution of pirated movie copies: US authorities block nine websites
According to the US authorities, they have succeeded in striking a blow against the distribution of pirated films on the Internet. Nine websites were shut down, including some that offered films just a few hours after they were released in cinemas.
The blocked domains - Tvshack.net, Planetmoviez.com, Thepiratecity.org, Movies-links.tv, Filespump.com, Now-Mmovies.com, Zml.com, Ninjavideo.net and Ninjathis.net - had been registered in the USA. The servers were located in the Netherlands. The sites had around 6.7 million visitors per month and money was collected via advertising or donations.
