Los Angeles - The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) has filed suit against three sites that provide links to other sites that offer its copyrighted films for download, Wired.com reported.

The new suits target Campusist.com, Movies-on-Demand.tv and SSWarez.com.

Wired notes that the U.S. federal courts have yet to rule on the merits of whether sites that merely provide a search engine or index to other sites that host music and video content for download are in violation of copyright law.

One such case, brought by the MPAA against IsoHunt, is currently pending in Los Angeles.
