MPAA Piracy Crackdown Continues
Say sayonara to Cinematube.net and Ssupload.com -- two Web sites that allegedly facilitate copyright infringement. The Motion Picture Association of America filed lawsuits against them this week in a California federal court.
It is estimated that Cinematube, believed to be operated out of Georgia, averages more than 24,000 unique users per day who view more than 85,000 pages of content. Ssupload's servers are in Scottsdale, Ariz., and the site averages 55,000 daily visitors who view over 190,000 pages of content, MPAA said.
Cinematube and Ssupload both highlight on their sites the availability of the latest in pirated movies that are frequently still in theatrical release. Both get significant profits via third party advertisers and user donations.
"No matter how you slice it, the sole purpose of these sites is to disseminate and profit from creative content that has been illegally reproduced and distributed," MPAA Executive Vice President John Malcolm said. Both sites were still online Thursday evening.
