The US site was blocked for publishing a pirated version of "Hellboy" BT download and had to pay 2 million

According to foreign media reports recently, because he uploaded and distributed pirated BT resources of the Hollywood comic adaptation "Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen" last year, the operator of the website MKVCage, a Pakistani man, Muhammad Faizan, suffered a huge claim of US$270,000 (approximately RMB 1.91 million).

In fact, soon after the film company secured the evidence of piracy and filed a lawsuit, the MKVCage website could no longer be opened. Subsequently, the uploader stopped seeding, and the spread of piracy was greatly weakened. It can be said that the basic demands of the film company have been met, but it was unexpected that it would not give in and make a comeback a year later.

However, the defendant Faizan did not show up and remained silent on the case. The plaintiff pointed out that the $270,902.58 was obtained by multiplying the number of infringement cases collected by the agent lawyer by the price required to purchase genuine copies in Hawaii.

Unexpectedly, the presiding judge rejected the plaintiff's application on the grounds that the "compensation amount calculation data" lacked support. However, his legal team has not given up yet and is preparing to make a careful and clear calculation before filing a claim.

According to US law, the maximum amount of damages for infringement of a single work is $150,000. Since the figure of $270,000 is far beyond that, it is difficult to convince the public to release it without sufficient details and evidence.
