MPAA sued Tan Soo Leong owner of film88.com. He also controled a company known as master surf inc. which had computer servers oversees to avoid liability in the US. However a Untied States Judge ruled that oversees pirating is still pirating and awarded the MPAA 23.8 million dollars in damages as well as forcing Leong to destroy every copy of every movie he had pirated.
The big deal about this is that the MPAA is one of the biggest lobbying groups in the country, and with this kind of power to propose a bill to congress asking for a Intellectual property protection act, a bill that would hold many networks, online music players and other product criminally liable for copyright infrigment.
