LOS ANGELES: Major Hollywood studios as well as Netflix and Amazon are escalating their crackdown on streaming device sellers that they say facilitate piracy on a massive scale.
The studios and streaming services Wednesday sued Carlsbad, California-based company Dragon Media, which sells and distributes set-top boxes that allow people to stream video from the web to their television sets. Dragon Media, the studios say, induces mass copyright infringement of their movies and television shows including Stranger Things, Deadpool and Wonder Woman.
