In an order Tuesday, a New York federal court permanently enjoined the defendants from infringing the studios’ films and granted the final default judgment for $10.5 million — an amount based on 140 works at issue, statutory damages of up to $150,000 per infringement, and the studios pursuing only half of what they say they are entitled. But collecting could be tough. The MPAA studios have not identified with certainty who the operators of the MovieTube sites are. The court granted a default judgment in favor of the MPAA in August because none of the defendants had answered the complaint in any way, and they have continued to avoid the proceedings, according to Tuesday’s order.
