I received an email from the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) on April 5, charging me with “unauthorized distribution of copyrighted motion pictures” and ordering the immediate shut down of my web site by contacting my web service provider. Fortunately, I am still here but I greatly resent the way in which this event has been handled by the MPAA. I have contacted them both by email and phone and have not received a reply from them.
They were wrong in charging me with unauthorized distribution of copyrighted motion pictures: the plain fact is I have never engaged in such a thing and their failure to properly research and recognize my video ordering page as merely a click-thru link to another site’s service is the cause of this unfortunate error.
