Hollywood studios sue advertising firm that works with pirate sites

Warner Bros and Disney have teamed up to sue Triton Media, an online advertising firm that has worked with nine websites identified by the studios as “one-stop-shops” for online piracy.They're seeking damages and a bar on Triton offering its services to the sites, some of which host infringing content, and some of which merely link to it.It's a fascinating lawsuit for this reason: if Warner Bros and Disney prevail, would they then go after other online advertising companies whose ads are used by copyright-infringing sites?There's one search giant, beginning with a 'G', which has been accused by the music industry of not doing enough to ensure its ads aren't being used by such sites…Note: Triton Media is not the same entity as Triton Media Group, the company whose logo was originally published alongside this article.
