Emboldened by Megaupload shutdown, Hollywood targets Hotfile

http://j.mp/yetAsk  (ars technica)

   "Film studios are asking a US District Court for a summary judgment
    against Hotfile, saying the file sharing site's business model is
    identical to that of Megaupload, a site shut down by the US government
    in January due to repeated copyright infringement."
