BEIJING, Nov. 28 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MyStarU.com, Inc.
(OTC Bulletin Board: MYST), is pleased to announce that its majority owned subsidiary, Subaye.com, Inc.’s ( http://www.subaye.com ) wholly owned subsidiary Media Group International Limited (MGI), a premier media and marketing management firm, announces that it is following the result of litigation against a Chinese web site (http://biz.yahoo.com/bizj/071123/1555169.html?.v=1 ).
MGI will possibly be involved in legal action to sue 14 websites offering illegal copies of MGI’s 23 films through video websites and cafes. Currently, there are six lawsuits filed by News Corp.’s Twentieth Century Fox, The Walt Disney Co., Viacom Inc.’s Paramount Pictures, Sony’s Columbia Pictures and Universal Studios, which is owned by GE’s NBC Universal, against a Chinese website alleging that the site offers illegal copies of the studios’ films ( http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2007-11/24/content_6276576.htm ).
“We are following the results of these cases, as we have been investigating 14 large Chinese video websites offering illegal copies of 23 films whose copyrights and licenses are owned or management by MGI. Our legal expert advises us that all cases may be heard collectively, because the legal facts are all the same as in the cases of the Hollywood studios,” said COO of MGI, Eric Tang, “If the Hollywood studios win, we will demand that 14 internet companies stop broadcasting our movies, make a formal apology and each pay MGI 1.15 million yuan in compensation or provide at least 2 million yuan in airtime for advertising.”
