Thunder, Google, or the Motion Picture Association sued for piracy, issued a warning

Matthew zitham, executive director of the Motion Picture Association for Asia, said Google had just established a partnership with China's thunder last week. However, many users are still using thunder to download pirated movies. He did not say whether he would file a lawsuit against thunder or Google.

Recently, the Motion Picture Association of America said Google should urge its partners in China to prohibit users from downloading pirated movies.

The Motion Picture Association sued three companies, including Sohu, for piracy infringement in China last month. Google is counting on using Thunder's 0.12 billion million users to help it compete for market share in China.

Zhang Jian, a member of Shanghai zhonglun golden Tong Law Firm, said: "As network companies are making more and more money and more people are using the Internet, we expect more and more cases involving network copyright infringement. Laws and regulations cannot eliminate piracy overnight ."

When Google acquired YouTube in last November, it raised concerns about piracy and infringement lawsuits. Google said it also considered the piracy issue of thunder. Google spokesman Wang Masha in Beijing said: "We pay great attention to copyright issues ." However, she did not disclose the company's investment details in thunder.

Zhang Yubo, a spokesman for thunder, said that thunder only provided a download tool and did not provide films on the Internet. The video resources and files were uploaded by thunder users and partners. He did not disclose the agreement between Thunder and Google.
