PubFilm Streaming Sites in Default in Piracy Complaint

The operators of the interconnected PubFilm websites -- subject of a lawsuit brought in March by a variety of programmers (see 1703140033) -- defaulted by not appearing or responding to the complaint, U.S. District Clerk for the Southern District of New York Ruby Krajick certified in a docket 17-cv-875 filing (in Pacer) Friday. The plaintiffs alleged the PubFilm sites were pirated movie and TV streaming sites, and last week requested an entry of default, saying the defendants were served by email in February.
