Content Companies Get Injunction, $40M Ruling Against Streaming Pirate

TTKN Enterprises (dba Crystal Clear Media) ran a "massive, leveraged piracy operation [that] posed a direct threat to the legitimate streaming market," said Motion Picture Association Global General Counsel Karyn Temple Tuesday as the content industry coalition Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE) announced a permanent injunction against TTKN. U.S. District Judge George Wu of Los Angeles also awarded a $40 million judgment against TTKN last week (in Pacer, docket 20-cv-07274). ACE sued TTKN and its principals in August. TTKN outside counsel didn't comment.
