MPAA press release on tv torrent suits

Posted on May 13, 2005 by Cathy Kirkman

The MPAA issued a press release yesterday about the law suits it has filed against various tv-oriented BitTorrent traffic sites. These sites actually touch the infringing content, unlike BitTorrent itself, which just distributes the software. These suits are the musical interlude while the MPAA waits on the Grokster ruling that is expected in June.

The press release notes that some torrent sites that have already been shut down now carry the MPAA warning statement, "You can click but you cannot hide." And it says that they want to work with those sites to offer legal content to end users, "like it does with Napster."
