Studios, Seeking Pirate Site Injunction, Urge Ignoring Anonymous Emails

Anonymous emails claiming to be from those behind accused video piracy site PrimeWire should be ignored, studios told the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles in a docket 2:21-cv-09317 notice Wednesday. The studios said they were emailed by individuals identifying themselves as the "PrimeWire team" after PrimeWire removed supposedly pirated content (see 2203140047) and were told the links to the content were deleted to comply with the temporary injunction. The studios said the email requested the pending permanent injunction not include the www.primewire.tf domain, which is supposedly free of pirated content. "Out-of-court assertions, made in anonymous emails, merit little weight," the studios said.
