Small online venture, Intertainer, who offers pay-per-view movies over broadband Net connections to users' PCs or their digital cable boxes, has sued three major Hollywood studios and their owners.
Lawsuit has been filed against AOL TimeWarner, Sony and Vivendi Universal. Suit claims that these three movie studios have set up a conspiracy by not allowing Intertainer to license their content in order to use it in its service. According to Intertainer, this has been done to buy more time for Movielink, which is similiar venture as Intertainer, but is owned by major Hollywood studios -- including those three named in the lawsuit.
