In a significant legal victory, Warner Bros Entertainment Inc. has successfully secured three rulings against Russian torrent trackers for copyright infringement. These platforms were found to be hosting unauthorized copies of films owned by the company.
Details of the Case
The defendants named in the lawsuits include notable sites such as tushkan.net, kinogo.com, rutor.org, and kinozal.tv, among others. The Moscow City Court ruled in favor of Warner Bros, fully upholding the claims made by the entertainment giant, as reported by Copyright.ru.
This case marks a pivotal moment, as Warner Bros became the first foreign film company to leverage Russia’s anti-piracy law by filing a complaint with the Moscow City Court. The impetus for these legal actions stemmed from the illegal distribution of copies of the film “Entourage.”
