The notorious website that was forced to shut down earlier this year, Movie88.com, is back. Guys have moved their servers from Taiwan to Iran to avoid MPAA and "dumb" American laws that prevented them from offering latest box office hits for $1 a piece.
Site has rebranded itself as Film88, but the content is still pretty much the same. You can stream all the latest movies using your broadband connection and paying $1 a pop. Movies available include Harry Potter movie, etc.
It is interesting to see how MPAA will try to shut down this site -- U.S. and Iran don't have too good relationships and American entertainment is generally viewed as one of the main sources that drive societies away from Islamic religion. And by blocking a whole country from the Internet because of one site shouldn't really be an option that anyone with commercial interests would be able to do.
