DOMAIN NAME OF TIGERCOOL.COM
South San Francisco, CA: TAI SENG ENTERTAINMENT, the largest U.S. distributor of Hong Kong and other Asian television series and movies announces that in an effort to collect copyright infringement damages of $5.4 million, they have seized the domain name of “tigercool.com”. This is the first time that Tai Seng has expanded its collection efforts to seize an active Internet domain name of an overseas company. The website was owned by a British Virgin Islands company operating in China known as UNITOPIA XIAN CORPORATIONand by an individual named LEI LEI.
The “Tigercool.com” site has been engaged in the widespread sales and distribution of VCDs and DVD products to the United States violating U.S. Copyright Laws on parallel imports and in violation of Tai Seng’s exclusive U.S. distribution rights. Many of the unlawful products included China released discs of programs produced by Television Broadcasts of Hong Kong (“TVB”). Tai Seng obtained a judgment of $5.4 million in the federal district court in San Francisco against the defendants in 2005. The defendants made no effort to cease their distribution in the U.S. despite the $5.4 million judgment. The current lawsuit was the second time Tai Seng took legal action against the business having sued and settled once before in 2002.
Alan T. Huie, General Counsel for Tai Seng stated: "Tai Seng had no choice but to seize the domain name of this illegal Internet operation from China and end their Internet distribution business, not only in the U.S. but in China as well and throughout the rest of the world. The defendants in Xian believed that their operations in China made them immune from U.S. copyright laws. By our seizure of their domain name, Tai Seng has proven that the consequences of their unlawful acts will be accounted for under U.S. law. No effort has been spared to effectively shut them down for good."
