QuickSilverScreen.com down; accused of copyright violations
QuickSilverScreen as of 11:50pm ET
Early this morning, Malaysian time, video-link aggregator QuickSilverScreen.com's site posted the following message:
This morning we were falsely accused of hosting copyrighted content by the Malaysian government, in result our host (located in Malaysia) asked us to shutdown the QSS main site server.
We still have full control over all our servers and are working with our host & the malaysian government to find a solution for this stupid mistake.
We expect to be up and running within a few hours/days
More to come as the story develops.
Senior Editor Lori Grunin has been covering digital imaging for two decades, but her memory's kind of sketchy on the details. You can hear about it every week on Indecent Exposure, the podcast she co-hosts with Matt Fitzgerald. 
The outcome for QuickSilverScreen will be interesting...I think the whole movie downloading concept may get out of hand...and be beyond the reach of even the MPAA in the future...it seems to be now. The very core of this is a numbers game...it is hard to combat hundreds of movie sites in large numbers.

- I guess web 3.0 has arrived, this site actually rocks since it nicely organizes across movies and tv and gives me HIGH QUALITY video each time with hourly updates. they are still in beta to work out kinks but works like a charm for me @ http://www.ovpulse.com and is not in danger of infringement since it's like a super aggregator to existing online content but focuscs on highlighting the most popular videos out there across a few relevant categories like movies,tv,cartoons, news, sports...
