  TVAddons and ZemTV Should Stand Trial in the US, Dish Tells Court
  
  By Ernesto from TorrentFreak
  
  Dish Network argues that there's sufficient reason to pursue a lawsuit against the people behind the TVAddons website and ZemTV Kodi addon. The defendants previously asked the Texas court to drop the case because they are foreign nationals with no connection to the state. Dish, however, counters this and argues that the US was the focal point of their business.

  MPAA Wants Filmmakers to Pay Licenses, Not Rip Blu-rays
  
  By Ernesto from TorrentFreak
  
  Late last year several filmmaker groups asked the US Copyright Office to lift some of the current DMCA circumvention restrictions, so they can rip and use clips from Blu-rays and other videos without repercussions. The MPAA and other industry groups don't think this is a good idea and point out that filmmakers have plenty of other options.

  Dutch Continue to Curb Illegal Downloading But What About Streaming?
  
  By Andy from TorrentFreak
  
  After previously being legal for personal use, in 2014 the Netherlands banned downloading of copyrighted content. In 2013, 41% of people engaged in the practice but according to a new study, just 24% admitted to having downloaded pirate media within the previous 12 months. While that sounds like good news, unauthorized streaming is absent from the stats.
