Courts don't decide if a site should be "shut down".
If you are breaking copyright infringement laws then you are losing your domain. That is what is happening.
They are firing the first barrage now. My feeling is they will now either proceed and do heavy damage next...or decide not to do it.
I doubt they are going to go after porn torrent sites of course. But the precedents that are being set are going to give our business yet another way to get our lawyers involved. As DWB said: A movie is a movie.
If it's copyright infringement to pirate a Hollywood video then it's copyright infringement to pirate one of mine too.
Let's watch and see how it all plays out. Maybe all the negative folks here will be correct and nothing will happen and you can all go broke.
I don't see that happening.
To me, it's obvious that the huge explosion of piracy to unprecedented levels over the last couple of years was leading to the hammer coming down. And in my opinion it will.
I hope I'm right and that you all are wrong.
And I've been pretty successful in my career by that being the case most of the time. heh-heh
