![]() And while the MPAA has filed lawsuits in waves against BitTorrent users, there’s no record of any lawsuit filed against anyone who has simply streamed a pirated film on their computer. ![]() The MPAA’s own definition of Internet piracy-”obtaining movies by either downloading them from the Internet without paying or acquiring hard copies of illegally downloaded movies”-doesn’t even cover streaming. Realistically, that’s not going to happen.Īnother problem with stopping streaming video piracy is that end users have no fear of repercussions. Monitoring all of these video hosts would take teams of workers and an incalculable amount of billable hours. These destinations aren’t popular enough (yet) to be part of the dinner table lexicon, and they’re more likely to be based out of China than the United States. As the policing of these major sites has gotten stricter, the pirates have simply moved their wares to lesser-known video carriers. As YouTube and Google Video rose to prominence, early Web pirates uploaded whole films and TV episodes. Demanding the removal of copyrighted files is equally ineffective.
