The popular torrent site MKVCage, which distributes torrents to other sites, is being prosecuted by producers of the action movie Hellboy.
Almost immediately after the lawsuit was filed, the website came out offline και μέχρι αυτή τη στιγμή, κανείς δεν γνωρίζει αν επιστρέψει. Επίσης δεν ειναι ακόμα γνωστό, αν το downtime της ιστοσελίδας σχετίζεται με το νομικό theme which we mentioned above.
The MKVCage team uploads their movies to various torrent sites and has amassed several friends over the past few years.
The band also has their own site at MKVCage.com, where they share their latest releases. However. in recent days, the website does not respond.
The suspension began after the producers of the movie "Hellboy" were sued in a federal court in Hawaii. According to the complaint, the site is managed by a person named Muhammad Faizan. Faizan is accused of promoting and distributing pirated copies of Hellboy.
The complaint states:
Defendant Faizan operates an interactive website mkvcage.com and mkvcage.fun, which include a library of torrent files for motion pictures protected by Copyright. Torrent files can be used by a BitTorrent client application to download and play movies for free and without permission.
The creators add that the defendant creates torrent files available through the website. One of them is “Hellboy.2019.720p.HC.HDRip.x264-MkvCage.Com.mkv”. The name of the website is often included in the title, to advertise the website.
"Defendant Faizan sometimes includes words such as 'MkvCage.com' in the titles of the torrent files he creates to enhance his reputation and certify the quality of the torrents, attracting users to MKVCAGE's interactive website," the complaint states.
The producers found the name of the accused from domain sale site Namecheap. The same person is also listed as the owner of the domains mkvcage.com, Μkvcage.ws, Μkvcage.cc and Μkvcage.me. The alleged owner used PayPal to pay for at least one of them.
