Jeboo, China's largest online cinema, has had a series of lawsuits filed against it by five Hollywood giants, namely Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, The Walt Disney Company, Paramount Pictures Corporation, Columbia Pictures Corporation, and Universal.
The studios claim that the company "transmitted movies they produced without their permission" and demanded an injunction to stop the transmissions immediately. The studios are also asking for an official apology and 3.2 million yuan ($433,000 USD).
Jeboo, established 3 years ago, has network copyrights for almost 30,000 films and television programs and is the first provider of its kind in China.
More updates as they become available.
