The MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) has recently filed copyright infringement lawsuits against movierumor.com and fomdb.com, two separate internet video websites. The lawsuits allege that both sites are providing illegal video streams of copyrighted content and profiting by way of online advertising revenue. Both sites are based in the USA.
The Dark Knight, Iron Man, The X-Files: I Want to Believe, Bee Movie and others are among the list of numerous high profile Hollywood films that are being illegally distributed by the defendants, according to the lawsuit.
In recent years, the MPAA has been awarded multi-million dollar judgements against similar illegal video streaming websites such as showstash.com.
Personally, I don't condone blatant copyright infringement, but why in the world would someone set up a site like this on US soil? They are just asking to get fined, get some prison time or both.
