The company started to uploaded 18 movies, the copyrights for which it acquired from Vie Vision Pictures Co. and Applause #Entertainment Ltd. in May last year with the specific intent of tempting people to #download the materials, according to the indictment.

Once the #company uncovered the identities of users it claims were linked to the illegal #downloading of the copyrighted #movies, it had its lawyers sue them, seeking to leverage out of #court settlements from the defendants, the prosecutors alleged.
