Legal Alternative Strikes Back At Movie4k

ALDERLEY EDGE, U.K. - June 3, 2013 - PRLog -- UK Man Strikes back at the illegal movie indexing website MOVIE2K, last week Movie2k was shut down due to a court order from the high court forcing the domain to be blocked in 14 countries including the UK. However a smaller legal version of the site has now begun redirecting users to a legal alternative website called http://movie-4k.info . Targeting more less the same keywords as what users are searching for, the legal alternative made it onto the first page of Google for over 36 hours. During this time the legal movie website sent over 1500 users to Netflix a popular legal movie subscription site and over 300 users to the UK Firm LoveFilm.

Although the firm behind the site is a two man band based in the UK what they have done is astonishing, to file a DMCA complaint can take up to 30 days to successfully have the content removed from the web. The makers behind the legal website have redirecting thousands of members to legal alternatives within minutes.

With this unique approach at fighting online piracy this could be the start of something new for copyright firms. Metrics the firm behind the legal site says.

“Users searching for movies online will quite happily turn to a legal website if they are able to find it, however if you do a simple search for “watch movies” you will be bombarded with illegal websites, targeting the names of these websites and pointing users in the right direction of legal alternatives is a very simple approach to help fight online piracy”

“If 1000 users visit our website and 1 user subscribes to a legal alternative it has been a success”

“Supporting the movie makers will allow the movie makers to make better films in the future and we all love movies right?”

Positive words from the man behind the site.
