Hollywood studios seek injunction on ‘Pirate Bay’
MUMBAI: Hollywood studios are seeking a new injunction against The Pirate Bay, alleging that the file-sharing site is still carrying on infringement on copyrighted material.
It is reported that thirteen studios have come together to seek an injunction against the service, the founders of which were found guilty earlier this year of copyright infringement.
Last April, a Swedish court sentenced Peter Sunde, Gottfrid Svartholm Warg, Fredrik Neij and Carl Lundström to a year in prison and levied a fine on the site. The court, however, did not order the closure of The Pirate Bay.
Last month, Swedish software company Global Gaming Factory X said that it would buy off Pirate Bay and turn it into a legitimate content download destination.
