In a Los Angeles new conference, the Motion Picture Association of America said its members would begin filing the lawsuits Nov. 16 against individual file-swappers across the country. The suits will seek damages that could be as high as $150,000 per motion picture, under the federal Copyright Act. In addition, the MPAA will ask the courts to order the defendants to stop the illegal trading.
"Illegal movie trafficking represents the greatest threat to the economic basis of movie-making in its 110-year history," Dan Glickman, MPAA president and chief executive, said in a statement. "People who have been stealing our movies believe they are anonymous on the Internet, and wouldn't be held responsible for their actions. They are wrong. We know who they are, and we will go after them, as these suits will prove."
