CHATSWORTH, Calif. — A coalition of content producers fed up with rampant Internet piracy has come together to form an antipiracy roundtable meeting scheduled for Sept. 5 at 7 p.m. at the Universal Sheraton Hotel in Universal City, Calif.
“Illegal distribution of copyrighted materials has became too much to bear and it’s time to do something about it,” said Airek, head of Internet operations at Shane’s World Studios. “Increasingly, DVD bootlegging, torrent, tube and password trading sites, among other avenues of distribution, are becoming plague-like and will soon overtake legitimate avenues of content distribution if something isn’t done now.”
