Hotfile was a one-click file hosting website founded by Hotfile Corp in 2006 in Panama City, Panama. Hotfile was a file-sharing platform that allowed users to upload and download files using any web browser. The site offered its services in 19 languages but did not provide a search engine or browser. Hotfile had a Link Checker and Hotlink feature, and it operated under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). In 2011, Hotfile and its alleged owner, Anton Titov, were sued by the MPAA for direct and secondary copyright infringement. The direct copyright infringement claims were dismissed, but secondary liability allegations remained. In August 2013, Hotfile was found vicariously liable for users' actions, and Titov was found personally liable. On December 4, 2013, Hotfile ceased all operations, the same day as signing a $4 million settlement with the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA); the settlement had previously been misreported as $80 million.
