With the many popular options for streaming movies and music, one would believe that the days of PirateBay and illegal downloading were over. That is assumingly also the direction we are moving towards, but that does not stop the copyright holders from taking legal action against internet subscribers who allegedly have been downloading and sharing copyright protected material illegally through their internet and associated IP- addresses.

By the year 2000, world culture had grown to see gangster films as a mostly sensational, idyllic genre. Popular gangster movies were rife with moral praise; often creating heroes and badass anti-heroes out of people the court would sentence to death.
Fans of downloading pirated movies through YTS might want to think twice before doing so as a federal court over in Arizona recently fined a US based couple a total of $35,000 after sharing pirated copies of the movies Saving Christmas and Lost Chile according to a report by TorrentFreak. Back in the past, there were allegedly hundreds of thousands of different people that have all been accused by certain movie companies for sharing certain pirated movies all through BitTorrent but this is one of the rare cases that have been made public.
Kerry Culpepper initially had plans to use the very same approach against the Amazon-based Mrs. Parks and her own husband after her email address was found linked towards downloading certain pirated copies of the known films "Saving Christmas" and "Lost Child". This particular information was actually found from a given user database of the popular torrent site known as YTS, that was then shared as a part of another earlier settlement and was then used by Culpepper in order to negotiate certain settlements both in and out of the court.
The story was reported by TechWorm and for those that aren't familiar with Kerry Culpepper, this is one of the most prolifically known anti-piracy lawyers coming from Hawaii that is working for Voltage Pictures, Millennium Films, and also several of their daughter companies. He has also previously filed a known lawsuit against certain downloaders and owners of these well known pirate apps and sites which include Popcorn Time, YTS, MKVcage, Showbox, and Cotomovies.
With the couple's failure to hold themselves up in court, the movie companies then went ahead with the said case and demanded a strong amount of $35,000 in damages, of which was detailed as $15,00 for the statutory copyright infringement damages for both movies as well as $5,000 for distributing this movies with the altered "copyright management information."
Follow the logic here. If Magnolia, which distributes movies and pioneered the release of movies before they are in theaters, something we called UltraVOD and have done since 2004, decides to make movies available for download via cellular to mobile devices, we have not violated the patent. IT IS ONLY WHEN WE DECIDE TO SHOW THAT MOVIE IN A THEATER that we have violated the Patent. Huh?
Regardless of this lawsuit, I do not recommend downloading either of these movies via cellular. You will max out your bandwidth cap. Better to do it over wi-fi, in which case TWC and Magnolia will never owe Red Pine Point a dime.

The key phrase in the appeals-court ruling, according to legal analysts, was"first impression," which refers to issues that are coming up forlegal review for the first time. Marcie Mihaila, an appellate court specialistin San Diego with the firm of Gray Cary Ware & Freidenrich, said the courtwas apparently persuaded that there were so many new legal questions posed bythe Napster case that a higher courtshould look at the matter before allowing the service to be shut down pending afull trial. 2ff7e9595c
