\nDVDempire site charges piracy
\nPittsburgh Business Times – by Maria Guzzo<\/p>\n

A Butler County-based Web site that sells adult entertainment DVDs has filed a federal copyright infringement lawsuit against a competing Ohio firm.<\/p>\n

Right Ascension Inc., which does business at http:\/\/www.adultdvdempire.com, filed the lawsuit April 12 in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania against Eastlake, Ohio-based Action Software Inc. and Action-DVD.com Inc. and those firms’ operators, Alexander Belfer of Mentor, Ohio, and Minko Olegi of Eastlake, Ohio.<\/p>\n

In the lawsuit, Right Ascension alleges that Action stole copyrighted material from the adultdvdempire.com Web site and placed it on Action’s site, http:\/\/www.action-dvd.com. The material included images, photographs and text including movie descriptions and biographical information about movie performers that Right Ascension had created or collected for its site.<\/p>\n

Right Ascension requested a preliminary and a permanent injunction against Action, asking that the company stop the copyright infringement.<\/p>\n

Right Ascension is asking for $150,000 in damages for each work that was copied from its Web site but does not indicate how many works the firm believes were stolen.<\/p>\n

Right Ascension alleges that Action’s piracy is driven by the desire to attract Right Ascension customers to its site, so Action can gain profits.<\/p>\n

The case has been assigned to Judge William Standish. A hearing date has not been set. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
