We all know that this breaches copyright laws, but the strange thing is – demand for these free movies has now increased as a result of this latest move by U.S. authorities.

For years authorities and movie studios have been doing all they can to put an end to free movie downloading, and it finally looks as though they are making a difference. There are those out there that feel that they have a right to these movies – even though it is stealing.

Looking at some of the comments, we can see that people have a very strong opinion on this latest move. Some saying that as long as these download sites are up they will keep downloading free movies.

Another reader said that shutting down ninjavideo.net was pointless as there are still thousand of others on the Internet. We have to disagree with that one, by taking down this website it means that there is one less to deal with.

The thing that users hated the most about ninjavideo.net being closed down was how they will no longer be able to get TV shows that is not available to UK residents.

Do you have an opinion on this, we believe that these online movie sites are spoiling the movie industry – the sooner they are all gone the better.

The domain names of the nine internet movie pirates were seized along with all bank, PayPal and advertising accounts associated with them in an operation called “Operation in Our Sites.”

Amongst the websites that have been shutdown are tvshack.net, movies-link.tv, filespump.com, now-movies.com, planetmoviez.com, thepiratecity.org, zml.com, NinjaVideo.net and NinjaThis.net.

Movie-Links.tv, which hosted some of the latest movies on show including “Sex and the City 2,” “The Karate Kid,” “Toy Story 3,” and “Splice” was one of the most visited websites in the internet world with around 3.3 million visitors every month.

The Manhatten U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said “If your business model is movie piracy, your story will not have a happy ending.” Whether or not this will stop movie piracy from happening altogether is another story.

Do you think that the U.S. authorities were right to shut down the internet movie pirates? Will it encourage you to go and pay to watch a movie at the theater? Join in with the debate in the comments section below.
