The MPAA has announced two new lawsuits against movie streaming sites, this time trying to get Fomdb.com and MovieRumor.com taken down for good.
Both sites are very similar and allow access to current movies such as "The Dark Knight", "Hancock", and "Get Smart" all available as streaming video, no BitTorrent client necessary.
"There are many people operating illegal websites like these who are profiting from the theft of protected content. We have filed several other similar lawsuits and will continue to do so in order to hold operators accountable for their illegal activities. We have every intention of shutting down these, and sites like them, for good,” said John Malcolm, Executive Vice President and Director of Worldwide Anti-Piracy Operations for the MPAA.
In their press release the MPAA states that both sites combined generate about 27,000 unique visitors every day and that the sites have about 100,000 pages available to users.
As of this morning Fomdb.com had disabled any links relating to movies currently in theaters while MovieRumor.com was still fully operational.
