"Operation In Our Sites" targets Internet movie pirates
ICE, Manhattan U.S. Attorney seize multiple Web sites for criminal copyright violations

LOS ANGELES - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) announced the launch Wednesday of "Operation In Our Sites," a new initiative aimed at Internet counterfeiting and piracy.

In the first action carried out as part of the initiative, authorities executed seizure warrants against nine domain names of Web sites that were offering first-run movies, often within hours of their theatrical release. Seven of those sites were targeted for seizure by the SDNY. Agents from ICE's Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) also seized assets from 15 bank, Paypal, investment and advertising accounts, and executed four residential search warrants in several states.

ICE Assistant Secretary John Morton, joined on a Los Angeles soundstage by senior representatives from major movie studios, entertainment unions and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), made clear that the theft of such intellectual property is a serious crime and one the U.S. government has made a priority combating.

Copyrighted material is known as intellectual property (IP) under the law.

"ICE and our partners at the National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center are targeting pirate Web sites run by people who have no respect for creativity and innovation," said ICE Assistant Secretary Morton, who was in Southern California to meet with the leaders of the movie industry. "We are dedicated to protecting the jobs, the income and the tax revenue that disappear when organized criminals traffic in stolen movies for their own profit."

"Criminal copyright infringement occurs on a massive scale over the Internet, reportedly resulting in billions of dollars in losses to the U.S. economy," said Preet Bharara, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, whose office handled the seizure warrants of seven domain names Wednesday. "That translates into lost jobs and real hardships for ordinary working people. That's why we took the actions we did. If your business model is movie piracy, your story will not have a happy ending."

"Content theft online has become increasingly ubiquitous as technology and software improve and access to the Internet increases," said Mike Robinson, chief of operations, content protection for the MPAA. "We are committed to working with law enforcement to get the illegal choices out of the marketplace and instead focus on continuing to offer more innovative and flexible legal options to consumers to enjoy the movies and TV shows that we all love. The American motion picture and television industry is one of our nation's most valuable cultural and economic resources. We are grateful to ICE, the Obama Administration, and the federal agencies that have made the protection of intellectual property a priority for the United States."

"We are facing a dramatic rise in the number of foreign and domestic Web sites that are in the business of making films and television shows - created by our members - available for illegal download or streaming," said Kathy Garmezy, associate executive director of government and international affairs for the Directors Guild of America. "If left unchecked, this illegal activity threatens the very ability of filmmakers to both earn a living and create the content that is enjoyed by billions around the world."

what other sites got pwned?

filmakers need to catch onto what people want today - have they ever considered how to CAPTURE the online (Currently "illegal") market and bring it into their revenue stream? NO, they just waste everyone's money and resources trying to "catch" people.

I mean, I really wouldn't mind having a 20-30 second commercial per 20 minutes of up to date video (ie: I can watch a first run family guy at approx the same time it is first shown on TV), given that the streaming service is free. Can't producers make money that way? The ads would break free from traditional "TV-style" ads too, by being able to make such ads interactive so that it actually captures the audience's attention, rather than simply annoying them.

FFS these producers really gotta take their heads out of their smelly asses and get with the program.

or they can just do a PayPerView thing.. pay to watch on home TV...

hulu plus for canada !

as some you guys know .. tvshack.cc got pwned again

The article wasn't specific. Are they just seizing domain names? TVShack looks like it's back, under a different domain.

Three cheers for Hulu! Oh wait....

The same sort of thought goes through my mind when somebody decides to make a RS spotted thread for some nobody who has maybe 100-something posts and mostly only lurks.

Like, seriously, next to nobody knows who you're talking about, so why don't you just txt the guy saying you saw him instead of making a post for somebody no one knows?
