The creators of The Expendables 3 will sue viewers of the pirated copy
Millennium Films intends to prosecute not only the culprits of a high-quality copy of The Expendables 3 leaked to the Internet, but also those who downloaded the action movie illegally using torrents. This is reported by The Hollywood Reporter. The studio issued an appeal to all owners of the pirated copy, demanding to identify themselves by October 5, 2014 and conclude an agreement that would pay the studio compensation. Those who do not want to surrender voluntarily will be identified forcibly by law enforcement agencies, and they will face a large financial fine, and possibly criminal prosecution. As a rule, in the case of the conclusion of such agreements, the violator's expenses range from several hundreds to several thousand dollars. If the case comes to court, then compensation for damage can grow many times. Recall that in the first 24 hours from the moment a copy of the movie appeared on the Internet, it was downloaded more than 200 thousand times. The total number of illegal downloads has exceeded two million. The Topic of Article: The creators of The Expendables 3 will sue viewers of the pirated copy. |
