The web hosting company Quadranet has scored a victory in a VPN piracy lawsuit filed by several film companies after a Florida federal court dismissed their complaint with prejudice.

As reported by TorrentFreak, earlier this year a group of independent film companies behind a number of popular films including “London has Fallen”, “Outpost” and “Dallas Buyers Club” not only began targeting site operators and individual pirates but they also started going after VPN providers. During the past few months, the group began suing hosting companies including California-based Quadranet which leases servers to LiquidVPN.

Just as Amazon filed a complaint after Microsoft was awarded the Pentagon’s $10bn JEDI contract, Microsoft has taken issue with the National Security Agency (NSA) awarding Amazon a different US government contract also worth $10bn.

The secret cloud computing contract, code-named WildandStormy, was awarded to Amazon back in August though details about the contract were scarce given how it is part of the NSA’s efforts to move its classified data repository to the cloud.
