Beijing-based Jeboo.com and an Internet cafe in Shanghai face a legal showdown with Twentieth Century Fox, Walt Disney, Paramount Pictures, Columbia Pictures, and Universal Studios, the Xinhua News Agency reported.
The film-makers allege Jeboo.com created software the cafe used to run a movie download business, and they are demanding $430,000 in compensation, reports said.
Jeboo.com promotes itself as “My on-line cinema” and claims to be China’s biggest film download provider with close to 30,000 movies and television series customers can copy onto computers.
A company official, Xie Jiangping, “refused to comment on whether it had violated the film companies’ copyright,” said News Agency Xinhua.
A statement on the Jeboo.com website says its vast range of entertainment is “legally obtained” through “content providing partners” who sign copyright contracts.
The case to be heard in Shanghai promises to be one more skirmish in a battle of words and legal threats between China and the US, which says the rough-and-tumble Asian economy does far too little to stop commercial pirates.
Washington has complained to the World Trade Organisation that slipshod Chinese rules have allowed a booming industry in pirated American goods, including movies and software, costing American firms billions of dollars.
Other US companies have sued and won against Chinese copiers. ?In September, studios won damages from a Beijing business selling copies of Lord of the Rings and other popular films.
Five Hollywood studios have sued a Chinese online service and internet cafe they accuse of offering pirated downloads of Pirates of the Caribbean and other hit films.
