Cable and Satellite TV service providers have been taking action against free TV service providers.
Openload and Streamango, two major sites that featured pirated copies of TV shows like Game of Thrones and movies like the latest Rambo, shut down their services under the terms of an agreement with a coalition of Hollywood studios and other content companies.
Sadly Showbox has suffered a similar fate. Showbox is by far the most popular online streaming app thanks to its smooth UI and easy navigation. Showbox is most talked online streaming App having many features offering to the user without any cost.
It looks like the production houses forced the Showbox developers and promoters to discontinue the support for the App. According to TorrentFreak, the production company requested Cloudflare to reveal the identities of the operators behind Showboxbuzz.com, Showbox.software, Rawapk.com, Popcorn-time.to, Popcorntime.sh, YTS.ag, YTS.gg and Showboxappdownload.com. They also filed lawsuit againt the websites which particularly promoted the App. This led to sudden disappernace of the App from many popular ShowBox promoting websites.
Many websites are giving warning message;
The Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment, which includes the studio members of the Motion Picture Association and other companies around the world, said that the sites also agreed to pay “a significant damage award.” The terms were not disclosed, but ACE had pursued a civil lawsuit in Germany and settled out of court. -Credit: deadline.com
