A Japanese adult entertainment rightsholder successfully sued the operators of pirate website MissAV in a U.S. court
This week, several domain names of the Japanese adult pirate website MissAV were redirected to seizure banners. The legal basis for these confiscations wasn’t initially clear, but new information ties the action to a U.S. court order. In addition to losing their domain names, the MissAV defendants must pay $4.5 million in damages.
What’s this actually mean? It’s not like they didn’t just switch domains and remain online? Article doesn’t mention any arrests so seems like they can just sidestep the domain seizure. Or am I wrong and there will be more action?
