Movieland
Movieland, also known as Movieland.com, Moviepass.tv and Popcorn.net, is a subscription-based movie download service that has been the subject of thousands of complaints to the Federal Trade Commission, the Washington State Attorney General's Office, the Better Business Bureau, and other agencies by consumers who said they were held hostage by its repeated pop-up windows and demands for payment, triggered after a free 3-day trial period. Many said they had never even heard of Movieland until they saw their first pop-up. Movieland advertised that the service had "no spyware", and that no personal information would need to be filled out to begin the free trial.〔
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) filed a complaint against Movieland and eleven other defendants in August 2006, charging them with having "engaged in a nationwide scheme to use deception and coercion to extract payments from consumers." The Attorney General of the state of Washington also filed a complaint, charging Movieland and several other defendants with violating that state's Computer Spyware Act and its Consumer Protection Act.
==Overview==
Movieland advertises its movie download service by using pop-up ads at other sites. The ads offer a three-day free trial, with access to members-only content including music, news, updated sports scores and adult movies. The ads say there are no forms to fill out, and no need to provide a credit card number or an e-mail address, making the trial appear anonymous. The site's homepage states that it has "No Spyware", is "Virus Free", and "No Extra Charge". The site installs a program, ''MediaPipe'', which is used to access the service.
