NEW YORK (Reuters) - A group of major media companies has accused Google Inc. of benefiting from the sale of pirated movies and providing business support to two Web sites suspected of offering access to illegal film downloads, the Wall Street Journal said on Monday. The paper said the claims against Google were based on sworn statements made late last year as part of a civil lawsuit brought by Hollywood studios against two men accused of operating Web sites that allegedly helped users illegally access copyrighted material. These statements indicated that Google representatives sold advertisements to these two sites knowing they were doing this, and had a close relationship with the two defendants, the paper said, citing people familiar with the matter.
