World Of Warcraft: RIAA Shuts Down Two Major WoW Movie Sites

| 27 Jul 2005 10:10

Warcraftmovies.com and RPGfilms.net were both shut down on Monday for violating copyright laws. The Recording Industry Association of America was behind the shut down. The RIAA cited that the music used in many of the videos on the sites violated copyright laws, saying that it's possible that someone could steal the song from the video itself. Warcraftmovies.com simply returns a "site cannot be found" error while RPGfilms.net has the actual letter sent to them by the RIAA on their site.

In my opinion, RIAA is a monopoly, and this is just another example of their greed. I could just as easily "steal" a song from the radio if I really wanted. Most of the WoW community is in an uproar about the matter, and there's a very long post on the official forums about it. Be sure to voice your opinion!
