The Motion Picture Association of America yesterday won the latest round in its ongoing battle against film piracy, with a legal settlement which saw a company which made DVD copying software close down.
The offending organisation, Studio 321, closed down last week rather than continue its legal battle with the MPAA, which was being pursued in New York, Los Angeles and London. The out of court settlement included an undertaking by the company's founders to pay undisclosed damages to the film studios. Studio 321 had previously argued that its software was intended for making backup copies for personal use, not piracy.
