LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Hollywood's major movie studios filed a new round of lawsuits nationwide Thursday against people who trade illegally copied films and TV shows on the Internet.

The civil suits against unnamed "John Doe" defendants seek up to $150,000 per downloaded digital file and come as the film industry prepares for its annual Oscar telecast in Hollywood where awards for top films and stars are given out.

The studios, represented by the Motion Picture Association of America, took the opportunity of the Oscars to again press the case that the illegal copying of films and their black-market distribution on the Internet is costing them millions of dollars a year in lost revenue.

$150,000 is a bit excesive...maybe the cost of seeing the movie in a theatre in the location where it was downloaded

They're so shitty yet you still want to download them? Sorry, but if a movie sucks I don't watch it even if it's free. Just fucking pay the $6 Wal-Mart charges. If you can't afford that this may help. http://bkcareers.com
