Your real name would not be Jack or would it? The MPAA did not have a good faith of any kind not subjective not objective they did not do their job right they did not even read the C&D the Ranger spit out at them they just sign off on it. Yes they did violate my First Amendment rights it is called abridging the freedom of speech and by making me find a new ISP is abridging my freedom of speech. They forced me to find a new way to go around them to keep my speech alive. I am sure they hate me being able to post here too. Here is a breakdown for you to know how this all started.
Marc Brandon from FOX sends an email to the MPAA "If you have not already initiated an Investigation, please review www.internetmovies.com." Hemanshu Nigam the MPAA Director, Worldwide Internet Enforcement. I would like to know who gave him that title. He pushes email off his lap to Gary Rogness, MPAA that said "I've looked at the site which offers subscriptions to join and able to download movies. I have given the printouts to the site to Nalya with a request to cause C&D letters to be sent. GARY" Well all this guy did is look at the site and print out the from page off of Ranger this site http://209.61.160.242:8080/en-us/client/v2/index.a sp this guy did not do the "Investigation" Marc Brandon from FOX asked him to do, gets better. 12 days later here comes Debra Shapiro from Paramount sending an email saying "Hemu, Further to my voicemail, internetmovies.com is offering downloads of trailers and features of member company product. You have to register to download the full length features. We hear that the quality is high, but did not actually view a download of our product (What Women Want) since we would have to register. They are not licensed by us. (Does anyone license them?) http://www.internetmovies.com Please take action ASAP. Thanks, Debra" Ok now wait one second at that time i have never hosted, shared a trailer or a movie of any kind and she is telling the MPAA "We hear that the quality is high," who told her that? So she is too cheap to order and see if this is true. Is there a shortage of cash in Hollywood. That movie What Women Want I remember I walked out of it in the first 3 mins of it. So again NO "Investigation" like FOX asked for. Funny thing is FOX asked me to push their trailers and I said no cost too much. Hemanshu Nigam the MPAA Director, Worldwide Internet Enforcement. sends a emails saying "Has this taken place up, since the site is still up." then the last email form MPAA, Nelya Tsyurth "Hello All: Please see the following sent on behalf of Hemanshu Nigam. C&D Letter was sent on Friday, March 23, 2001, Reference #96163 Nelya" I will let you all be the judge on this matter. I feel that the MPAA is lazy and negligent and did not do their job right and the sad part is the studios pay them for this. I will fight them until the end. I am sure they never seen so many Internet users stand up and support a web site to fight back. They need to rethink their Business model and show respect to end users and small businesses even if they dislike what the small business is talking about and reporting. I hope in the end the courts change the DMCA where it reads fairly.
The other 18 movies they said I had just came out and were listed at the very bottom of the website and 99.9% of my visitors know I did not have movies on my website. There was one email from someone that asked if I had movies on my site and I told the truth in my deposition that is what you should do right tell the truth and that is all I do always on my site. Yes you can download movies online "ONLINE" this means the Internet not my site. As I stated in the post above I was the 1st to post the news about movies on the Internet and the MPAA did not like that but they love the millions of Internet visitors I send them each year. Note they send me all the posters for the movies and the trailers too. I am not rich by no means Anthony I put it all on the line for this fight and I always return money to anyone that is not happy. So you sound like you like the MPAA you sure do talk just like them reading between the lines and only point out what looks good for the MPAA. Anyone can take a word and say it means something other then you meant it to be. It is called "hyperbole." and the MPAA love to do it and the courts. The fact is the MPAA made a very big mistake and are trying to cover it up and I will not let them. Note see how they do not post news about them winning in the courts they just wish I would go away they love keeping everyone in the dark ages. My Members and I will make them face the light it is time for them to crash and burn.

Thank you for taking time to post your feelings but some of your facts are not right.
You can join and get movies online this is a true statement and was not even in the same area of the movie posters that the Hollywood studios send me each week to post on my website. They love the free PR enjoyed it for 2 years 1999-2001. Only when I posted news about movies being downloaded online they try to stop me for telling the world the news I was the 1st to get the news out on that. Note they said that I had Lord of The Rings: Return of The King, The in 2001 that did not come out till Dec. 2003.
Yes you can download full-length movies online and I link too many of them they are not Hollywood movies and Hollywood does not own the word full-length movies and I did not promise anyone movies on my site you are reading between the lines like the courts and the MPAA.
"Now Downloadable" I coined the phase and it is mine and does not just mean movies it means trailers too and I was the 1st to use it in commerce. It is like say Now Showing.
I emailed my ISP and told them I did not have movies and they knew I did not have movies too and still close my site down saying they would not back up a site that only pays them $10 a month. I did file a counter-notification and it is in the case and was submited to the courts and the courts keep over looking it.
MPAA was trying to put me out of business they just do not like anyone telling the truth about them and they do not own me our my network like the rest that are censoring me that is why you do not see my case in the main news. They can not push the little guys around and that is why I am winning the battle. I am only one man that is back by Members to fight for our rights and not sit around and let their rights be taken way remember that we were supported by the Internet Commerce Coalition (ICC), and NetCoalition.com with amicus briefs. ICC members include AT&T, BellSouth, eBay, MCI, Verizon and others. NetCoalition members include Yahoo!, Lycos, Inktomi and others.
I have a right to say what ever I please any time and any where I like. That is why I swore to protect the constitution USA form friends and foes and the MPAA and RIAA act like friends but are foes. I do not wish to live in a MPAA world that the lobbyist paid for unconstitutional laws to be passed and to submit to them less my constitutional rights. The very rights that my fellow soldiers our fighting and dieing today over to protect as the MPAA are widdling way the constitution and trying to wiggle their way out of this like a snake. I will fight them to the end I am not driven by greed. I am driven to do the right thing for my members that support this fight and fight for what little rights we have left.

We the people have enthrone the Jester, to become serial lobbyists to circumvent, hack, pirate and kill Americans rights away along with our international allies rights. This year we the people have seen children and the elderly being sued for sharing intellectual property over a computer network even if they did not own a computer or know how to use one.
We the people have seen university networks threatened to be shut down by serial lobbyists for just having a song singing about satellites.
We the people have seen children sued by serial lobbyists in other countries for copying their own DVD's even though it is their right too. We the people have seen InternetMovies.com forced to shut down because serial lobbyists swore under penalty of perjury that they had movies from the future.
We the people have seen serial lobbyists push new laws into power that will make your DVD player not be compatible with future intellectual property content, forcing you to waste money on a new one.
We the people have seen serial lobbyists trying to push the Indie movies back into the dark ages with a screener ban, violating antitrust laws.
We the people have seen serial lobbyists violating antitrust laws to put good movie sites out of business like Intertainer.com.
We the people have seen enough of our constitutional rights and our neighbors rights being circumvented, hacked, pirated and dying away. Now we the people see the serial lobbyists losing law suit after suit.
We the people are now being heard by the higher courts that are now starting to dethrone the Jester, returning the throne to we the people.
We the people are Kings. Jester you are now ordered back to serve and entertain us Kings or prepared to be beheaded you Jokers.
Happy New Year!

Funny how things happen at the same time my Press Release came out. I am trying to put an end to the way the RIAA and the MPAA are using and abusing the DMCA for good. Take a look at my case and you will see. Thanks for your support.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 12, 2003
INTERNETMOVIES.COM appeals to U.S. Ninth Circuit Court against federal judge's ruling THAT DMCA does not require MPAA to conduct any investigation to shutdown websites.
KAHULUI, Maui, Hawaii, May 12 / -- The United States District Court for the District of Hawaii granted the Defendant's motion on April 29, 2003, in regard to the case of Michael J. Rossi d.b.a. InternetMovies.com vs. Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) et al. InternetMovies.com attorney, Jim Fosbinder said, "The Judge has held that the "good faith belief" requirement before sending cease and desist letters under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) does not require the MPAA to conduct any investigation prior to sending cease and desist letters to Internet service providers. The same "good faith belief" phrase has been held to require an investigation in hundreds of other federal decisions where the phrase is used in other federal statutes and rules including copyright, trademark, securities and federal rules of civil procedure cases. In the InternetMovies.com case, the MPAA admitted sending threatening letters to the Internet service provider without conducting any investigation."
The lawsuit was filed against the MPAA last year, on April 25, 2002 as a result of a series of cease and desist orders issued in March and April 2001, wrongfully accusing InternetMovies.com for distributing unauthorized copies of copyrighted motion pictures and ultimately the wrongful shutdown of the entire web site http://www.InternetMovies.com . One of the downloadable movies noted by the MPAA was "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King", which is due in theaters in December 2003 and was to be in post production at the time of the cease and desist order. The allegations against the MPAA include interference with contractual obligations, interference with prospective economic advantage, as well as libel and defamation. A settlement agreement was offered to InternetMovies.com by the MPAA if Rossi waived the right to appeal. InternetMovies.com did not settle and will be appealing the decision with the U.S. Court of Appeals of the Ninth Circuit contending that unless a requirement of a reasonable investigation prior to shutting down a web site is read into the DMCA, the DMCA would alter the usual legal relationship of the parties in favor of the copyright holder, providing little or no recourse to the person or business wrongfully accused of violating copyright laws. In addition, InternetMovies.com will be contending that the requirement of the DMCA's "good faith belief" of alleged infringement has in nearly every other context been held to require a reasonable inquiry or investigation, which was not done by the MPAA prior to the shutdown. InternetMovies.com intends to ask the District Court Judge to reconsider its ruling that a "good faith belief" does not require the MPAA to make any investigation.
InternetMovies.com is a web site with an online directory of artists' works and Internet news magazine providing information and resources about movies on the Internet. One of the goals of InternetMovies.com is to allow studios and independent artists to distribute digitally secure movies to its membership and duly compensate artists for their works.
