[img]http://torrentfreak.com/images/hotfile1.jpg[/img]As one of the ten [url="http://torrentfreak.com/top-10-largest-file-sharing-sites-110828/"]largest file-sharing sites[/url] on the Internet, Hotfile has become a prime target for Hollywood. February last year the inevitable happened when the MPAA filed a lawsuit against the file-hosting service. Since then there have been dozens of court filings and Hotfile even [url="http://torrentfreak.com/mpaa-sues-hotfile-cyberlocker-service-110209/"]sued[/url] MPAA member Warner Bros. right back for allegedly abusing its copyright takedown tools. This week the MPAA took an important step by [url="http://www.scribd.com/doc/84379991/Mpaa-Hotfile-Summary"]filing[/url] a motion for summary judgment at a US District Court in Florida. With this move the movie studios hope to avoid a lengthy trial and have Hotfile shut down as quickly as possible. In court papers Hotfile is described as a service built around copyright infringement. The movie studios use the recent indictment against Megaupload as leverage and argue that both services are identical. “Hotfile’s business model is indistinguishable from that of the website Megaupload, which recently was indicted [i]criminally[/i] for engaging in the very same conduct as Hotfile. Defendants even admit that they formed Hotfile ‘to compete with’ Megaupload.” The MPAA further highlights similarities with other file-sharing services that have lost legal battles in US courts. “Hotfile is responsible for [i]billions[/i] of infringing downloads of copyrighted works, including plaintiffs’ valuable motion picture and television properties. As with other adjudicated pirate services that came before it, from Napster and Grokster to Isohunt and Limewire, Hotfile exists to profit from copyright infringement,” they write. “More than 90% of the files downloaded from Hotfile are copyright infringing, and nearly every Hotfile user is engaged in copyright infringement.” The latter statistic comes from [url="http://www.scribd.com/doc/84380009/90-Percent"]research[/url] conducted by University of Pennsylvania professor Richard Waterman on behalf of the movie studios. Waterman concluded that 90.2% of all daily downloads on Hotfile are infringing, opposed to 5.3% that are clearly non-infringing. Aside from pointing out the massive infringement on Hotfile, the crux of the case is whether the file-hoster is protected under the DMCA’s [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_harbor"]safe-harbor[/url] provision. According to the MPAA this is not the case. Among other things, the studios point out that Hotfile previously failed to disconnect repeat infringers and that Hotfile employees actively induced copyright infringement. Not meeting these requirements means they have no right to safe-harbor protection. The MPAA’s motion is supported by a slew of exhibits ranging from internal emails where Hotfile staff assist users with downloading infringing files, to forum discussions about the affiliate program, and testimonies from anti-piracy chiefs at the movie studios. When combined, all evidence leads the MPAA to conclude that Hotfile should be shut down and the studios awarded damages. Whatever the outcome, the case is expected to set an important precedent for the future of similar cloud hosting services that operate in the United States.

By Sowmya Krishnamurthy Oh, boy...It was only a matter of time before Chris Brown's girlfriend Karrueche Tran started firing some shots at Chris' other other girl, Rihanna. Karrueche took to her Facebook profile to share her thoughts on the "Talk That Talk" singer: "let me clear the air, if you have fenty at the end of ya name or your default Is Rihanna. you have a better chance of winning the lottery than ending up on my friends list." Well, that clears up any ambiguities over how she REALLY feels. Rihanna Tapped Chris Brown For Collaboration, The-Dream Says This could be a response to Rihanna's recent Instagram pic of a bag of rice cakes with gold earrings and black shades, along with the fuzzy caption, "Ima make u my bitch." Many are interpreting this as a racist slam against Tran, who is half-Asian. This all comes on the heels of not one, but two, remixes "Birthday Cake" and "Turn Up The Music," by the former flames Chris and Rih Rih. Critics and fans weighed in with mix reactions, given the duo's highly-publicized, tumultuous relationship. In 2009, Chris struck a plea agreement in a felony assault case involving Rihanna. He was sentenced to 180 days of community labor, to be served in the singer's native Virginia.

By Raynold D Fabre-Jeune 9th Wonder is well-known as a member of Little Brother, as a super producer and now a he’s also a professor of the class “Sampling Soul” at Duke University. Back in January it was originally announced that 9th would teach alongside Professor Mark Anthony Neal in his African American Studies Class at Duke. The course focuses on African American music that has played a major role in the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, 70s and 80s. The class has been receiving many rave reviews and gaining a lot of press. CBS recently covered a segment of the class itself, capturing reactions of students and Mr. Neal himself. "9th Wonder for instance, isn't just functioning as someone who is demonstrating things, he's actually teaching also,” Neal says. “So they get the benefit of two very different people, coming at information from two very different perspectives with this common goal of expanding their minds of their view of the world. 9th himself even spoke of some of things he believes are important that he touched upon in the class. "Some of the topics we covered in the Sampling Soul Class are the affects of Marvin Gaye, James Brown, the affects of geography, the exploration of hip hop from a cultural sense,” he says. The class however, isn't only lecture based, some of the students even receive hands on experience when they receive the opportunity to make a beat in front of their peers with 9th. "There was so much I didn't know… This course has definitely been an eye opener for me," says student David Wang. When asked what he wanted his students to get out of the class, 9th responded by saying "We're not only talking music in this class, we're talking about life."

By Nicole Rosado One of the most enduring viral video crazes of the moment is the “sh-- [insert noun here] says” series and the most recent parody videos includes “Sh-- Beyonce Says” by comedian Darmirra Brunsona which reached just about 60,000 hits and “Sh-- Rihanna Says,” which is getting close to 56,500 on YouTube. The two videos quote lines from each of the vocalist’s popular songs and use the old rumors regarding beef between Beyonce and Rihanna as fuel. The “Sh-t Beyonce Says” video jokes that Beyonce is jealous of the relationship Rihanna has with Jay-Z meanwhile, the “Sh-t Rihanna Says” video includes rumors that Rihanna has an alcohol problem and lesbian tendencies. Brunson also hints that power couple Jay-Z and Beyonce are very into themselves singing, “We’re in love with ourselves and we wouldn’t have it any other way,” over the Bey’s song “If I were a Boy” and even makes a reference to Jay-Z and Kanye West’s hit single “N----s in Paris.” The “Sh-t Rihanna Says” video includes quotes such as, “Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, and Lady Gaga are all the same, they all shop at the same thrift store. They should all just be one person, Nickatygaga.” Let’s hope that both artists have a sense of humor if they ever do see the videos.

For those of us who are familiar with and continue to obsess over the masterwork that is David Mitchell's beautifully unique novel "Cloud Atlas," the fact that a film adaptation is being attempted is cause for anxiety. Even with visionary filmmakers the Wachowskis at the helm and an all-star and A-list cast doesn't alleviate all fears. During the press day for her upcoming indie "Jeff, Who Lives At Home," Susan Sarandon weighed in on the challenges of "Cloud Atlas," presenting comments that have me [i]very[/i] encouraged indeed. [url="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2012/03/07/cloud-atlas-susan-sarandon/"][img]http://mtv.mtvnimages.com/uri/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:746272?height=288&width=512[/img][/url] "I have very small parts, but many genders of varying looks and ages and everybody else does too," said Sarandon. "Everyone was trans-everything, all over the place. I was a little nervous." "I was so flattered that the Wachowskis wanted me there and I read the script and thought, 'This is impossible, I definitely want to be part of this,' and when I got there there was such, it was like Cirque du Soleil of the creative energy," she continued. "Everyone was getting noses or eyes and contacts, moving from one set to the other just like 'What the hell, just jump in.' Hugh Grant had never been in makeup for longer than fifteen minutes and he was sitting in a chair for hours. Halle Berry did one thing for seven hours, they are just amazing things." "What the movie is about is so beautiful so I hope it comes together," she went on. "If it doesn't it's going to be one of the most extraordinary failures ever and I love that they had the guts to try it and that Halle and Tom Hanks and all these people were game enough to jump in." "Cloud Atlas" is one of the most unique books I've ever read and is really difficult to explain or summarize but, in a nutshell, the story revolves around six different characters' stories, which span several time periods, zones and possibly atmospheres.

By Jocelyn Vena Rumors of a mini Snooki have been floating around for a few days now, but the "Jersey Shore" star (real name Nicole Polizzi) has finally confirmed that she is pregnant. Her co-star DJ Pauly D, who recently signed to 50 Cent's G-Note imprint, has come out to send public congratulations to Snooks. "Crazy! I'm real excited," Pauly told MTV News about his pal's impending motherhood. "You want to know why? I love babies! I love everything about them, when they're not yours. So I'll take care of it, spoil it and then when it's crying, give it back to Snooki." t seems that Pauly isn't the only one excited by the "Shore" crew's first baby; the mama-to-be is also pretty stoked. "She's excited," he shared about Snooki. "She loves it. She's always wanted kids. I want to be at the delivery room." While the baby's daddy is most definitely Jionni, Pauly laughed that Snooki's fling with Vinny had him worrying he might be a dad in the near future. "He's counting the months," Pauly joked about Vinny doing the conception math. "At first he was, but then he's like, 'It's no way in the world, it's no way. It's gotta be Jionni's. It's gotta be.' Aw, man, congratulations Vinny!" Pauly laughed. Have the perfect wedding gift idea for Snooki and Jionni? Tell us on Facebook! All jokes aside, Snooki's next chapter is also being embraced by the entire MTV family, as she not only wraps up this season of "Jersey Shore," but also begins her spin-off with best girlfriend JWoww. "We wish Nicole a healthy and happy pregnancy and congratulate her on her engagement," an MTV rep said in a statement. "We support her as she starts this new chapter of her life."

[img]http://www.mtv.com/movies/photos/h/harry_potter_deathly_hallows_part_2_070111/flip/harry_26.jpg[/img] If you've ever read Movies Blog, you know we're big "<a href="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/tag/harry-potter">Harry Potter" fans here. So it shouldn't come as any surprise that we went over the moon when Warner Bros announced that they'd be converting the Leavesden Studios sets that they used to film the "Harry Potter" movies into a museum to honor the franchise. [url="%20http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/harry-potter-tour-reveal-movie-magic-15857162"]ABC News[/url] has a brand new behind-the-scenes video tour of the museum that shows off some of the sets fans will get to see if they visit the Leavesden Studios lot. Let's just say that I'm seriously considering a ticket to London once this bad boy opens on March 31. I mean, it's [i]only[/i] a 13 hour flight from California. Sacrifices must be made! Check out the video preview after the jump. The first set teased is the Great Hall. It doesn't look quite the same as we remembered it, destroyed at the end of "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/383853/moviemain.jhtml"]Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2[/url]," but Filch has probably been hard at work making the place look spic and span again.

Turns out it was used for everything except when Hogwarts was set on fire in "Deathly Hallows: Part 2." What I personally can't wait to see one day is the Gryffindor common room. Apparently everything is still there down to the rumpled bed sheets.
