Disney and Warner Bros have just won $400,000 in damages from a web advertiser that "helped fund" piracy by supplying ads for pirate websites. Is Google, the biggest web ads provider, rightly or wrongly next on the legal list?
The damages are levied against Triton Media, which the courts have thus found guilty of "contributory copyright infringement" and "inducement to infringe." Triton's crime is an odd one: Providing a web ads facility to websites including free-tv-video-online.info and watch-movies.net.
Wow...Just wow.
