Google has filed a lawsuit against Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood, the latest salvo in its piracy battle with the Motion Picture Association of America. Hood targeted Google with an “unreasonable, retaliatory and burdensome” subpoena, the complaint says. The referenced subpoena likely is part of a coordinated campaign known as “Project Goliath,” an antipiracy effort by the MPAA and six major Hollywood studios that appears to be directed against Google. Goliath was uncovered last week, thanks to emails leaked following Sony’s hack attack.
