QuickSilverScreen Accused of Copyright Infringement, Temporarily Shutdown

Pressure from the Malaysian government causes the site's host to ask them to temporarily shutdown their main server.

QuickSilverScreen, one of t ne of the webs more popular video streaming sites has been accused by the Malaysian government of illegally hosting copyrighted material. Thanks in part to pressure from Malaysian authorities, the site's host asked them to shutdown the main server this morning while the matter is sorted out.

"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," reads the site.

But fans of the site have no fear for it also says that they "...expect to be up and running in a few days."

The site has been in a sort of a transitional period as of late after Stage66, the third party site where all content was actually hosted in crisp DIVX quality format, was shutdown more than a month ago.

It's important to note this because the site is correct in arguing that it doesn't actually host any copyrighted material. With the help of users it merely embeds video content, usually copyrighted of course, from third party sites. So if anything it's the third party sites, now usually China-based, that should face charges of illegally hosting copyrighted content and not QuickSilverScreen.
