After the painful fight again the american movie industry, isoHunt may face it's end. IsoHunt founder Gary Fung and it's company was sued by the the record label that include the Sony's "Big Four", EMI, WArner and Universal.
“The isoHunt Websites have been designed and are operated by the defendants with the sole purpose of profiting from rampant copyright infringement which defendants actively encourage, promote, authorize, induce, aid, abet, materially contribute to and commercially profit from,” the court filing reads.
“The defendants and users of the isohunt websites act together, in and part of a file-sharing community, to reproduce and distribute plaintiffs’ sound recordings and other copyright content,”the record labels add.
It is surprising that this massive lawsuit has been filed in May 2010 and yet the news only reach at 16 of February 2011. When the TorrentFreak asked for comments, Gary Fung said that the lawsuit is similar to the one took place in 2008 when isoHunt sued the record in order to defend itself and request the court to legalize their operations.
The court ordered a censorship upon the website search engine based on the list of thousand of keywords provided by the MPAA or the ceasing or the ceasing of any operations in the U.S. The censorship has been applied to all U.S. visitors.
With the censorship is applied, do you think that the Internet Piracy can be stop or reduced?
If cant, any suggestion to prevent the massive file-sharing website to come back again?
