Chinese video site denies piracy claim

One of China's largest pay-per-view video websites has been hit with piracy lawsuits from five major US film companies.

Representatives of 20th Century Fox, Walt Disney, Paramount, Columbia Pictures and Universal have filed lawsuits in China against Jeboo.com.

The suit alleges that the Chinese firm distributed several popular movies without permission.

Jeboo representatives said in statements to local media today that the charges were "inconsistent with the facts", and claimed that the studios were probably targeting the wrong company.
