News Summary:

The streaming site pstream.mov recently shut down, a development stemming from pressure exerted by the Motion Picture Association (MPA) and the ACE anti-piracy alliance. This initiative, which began last month, involved the MPA obtaining DMCA subpoenas from a California federal court, compelling Discord and Cloudflare to share personal information on customers linked to domains such as hdfull.org, sflix.fi, and pstream.mov. Previously, on March 2, the MPA appointed Raúl Rolo as Vice President and Regional Legal Counsel for Latin America. Based in Mexico City, Rolo, an IP and regulatory veteran, will guide the MPA on engagement with policymakers and authorities to strengthen its anti-piracy and government relations strategy in the region. He reports to Carla Sánchez-Armas, Managing Director of Latin America, and Jesse Martin, Senior Vice President and Associate General Counsel (Global Litigation and Intermediaries) for the MPA. Earlier, on February 27, MPA Chairman and CEO Charles Rivkin discussed artificial intelligence in Hollywood, highlighting its dual potential to supercharge creativity and destabilize the entertainment industry's economic foundations.
