In February, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) sued Hotfile, one of the popular file hosting service on the internet.
Two weeks ago, as a continuation of this case, the MPAA asked the court to forcibly shut down the site Hotfile.
MPAA thought, if this site is a haven of pirated files, and does not meet the requirements of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
Google does not agree with the accusations against Hotfile associated MPAA DMCA. According to the internet giant, the MPAA has misled the court and unjust.
Google said the party, if Twitter, Yotube, Facebook, and Wikipedia can develop because they are protected by the DMCA.
If the MPAA still bersikeran with their version of the DCMA, Google et al will be in serious trouble.
"Without the legal protections afforded by the safe, the service may have been forced to change their operations or never launched," Google wrote in a brief that they provide.
Google press if those who must report to identify the allegedly pirated files are the copyright holder, not Hotfile. And the MPAA trying to twist the DCMA.
"The court should not be misled. This must be rejected in any attempt to remove the burden of investigation there is the element of intent to the copyright owner moved to Hotfile, Google added.
Google asks court to reject the plaintiff's efforts. After the violent reaction to a file hosting site in recent months, Google's support will be welcomed by the industry is positive and open the file hosting.
But what about the entertainment industry, especially Hollywood are very stubborn, especially the MPAA? Let us wait for the next development.
