Ranger covers 60 countries, searching in English, Chinese, and Korean for pirate movie sites. Some of its targets object to the software's findings, however. Internetmovies.com has filed suit against the MPAA because Ranger identified its Web site as a movie pirate in 2001, prompting the company's Internet service provider to stop access.
