By: Keith Witchka, Staff Writer
Federal Court orders Emergency hearing for restraining order against popular magazine website www.whatstea.com against illegal postings of Pitbull Productions’ intellectual property, as part of a lawsuit filed against the owners of the website and its ISP.
Pitbull Productions announced today that an Emergency hearing will be held soon in Federal Court in New York as part of having served a lawsuit against Alpha Red, Inc. and Universal Netmedia, Inc. to stop defendants from continuing to encourage, enable and profit from the infringement of Pitbull Productions, Inc. copyrights, trademarks and trade dress on the internet. Alpha Red, Inc. and Universal Netmedia, Inc. have developed and control a network largely dedicated to the repeated and exploitative unauthorized distribution and reproduction of Pitbull Productions, Inc. works. Alpha Red, Inc. and Universal Netmedia, Inc. provide their users with a fully integrated infrastructure that connects them to infringing digital files. The website even encourages users to infringe through a point system that gives users more access according to the number of movies they upload. Defendants are building a business based on the daily massive infringement that they enable and encourage. Alpha Red, Inc. and Universal Netmedia, Inc. conduct has caused and continues to cause Pitbull Productions, Inc. grave and irreparable harm.
A representative from Pitbull Productions, Inc. became aware of postings of entire Pitbull Productions, Inc. videos on the Alpha Red, Inc. and Universal Netmedia, Inc. website What’s Tea (www.whatstea.com). Pitbull Productions, Inc. informed defendants that they were aware of numerous postings of images with links to downloads of entire DVDs owned and produced by Pitbull Productions, Inc. Pitbull demanded that defendants remove the content, which went unanswered. The content, including images, trademarks and content, remain on their website for users to download for free while defendants profit from advertisers.
