Strike 3 Holdings Subpoenas Identities of 101 Internet Subscribers Across the Nation
December 8, 2020 · Leonard J. French, Esq.
In their latest filing, case 2020-027925-CC-05 in Miami-Dade County Court, Strike 3 has targeted 101 more Internet Subscribers that Strike 3 claims have committed copyright infringement by downloading Vixen, Tushy, or Blacked branded films through BitTorrent networks. In just one filing, they've asked for subpoenas to Century Link, Cox, Frontier, Google Fiber, Optimum Online, RCN, and Wave Broadband, to force the ISPs to reveal their clients' identities. Once the court grants the subpoena, the ISP is obligated to respond unless the defendant files a Motion to Quash (i.e., a motion to cancel the subpoena).
Once Strike 3 has the internet subscriber's identity, they will usually sue an adult male in the household claiming that he must be the infringer. These Federal lawsuits are serious and can have damages of at least $750 per infringement. This can make a typical Strike 3 Holdings case worth $10,000s, if not $100,000s in damages. These cases shouldn't be ignored.
Given the serious nature of the allegations, many defendants want to pursue a Motion to Quash. This is understandable, and there are some valid arguments while the case remains in Florida county court, such as arguing that the court doesn't have jurisdiction over copyright matters, nor over non-Florida residents. However, this might not be the end of the case, as Strike 3 frequently files Federal lawsuits against those that oppose the subpoena.
If you're considering a Motion to Quash, please contact me. I've defended over 1,000 people against plaintiffs like Strike 3 Holdings, and have significant experience with Motions to Quash. I can help explain when they can be helpful, and when they could be potentially harmful. I work with a team of lawyers from across the country to make sure that we can serve you, no matter where you are. For example, in the present case, Strike 3 subpoenaed identities of people from California, Texas, Virginia, Arizona, Washington, Nevada, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Colorado, and Connecticut (to name a few).
The Plaintiff is often willing to settle or even dismiss the case when a defendant has an adequate defense. That's why it's so important to contact an experienced attorney right away. I can provide valuable information based on my years of experience fighting Strike 3.
I'm happy to explain to you your options for defense and recommend the best way forward for your situation. I've represented more than 1,000 people across the country, and I focus my practice on defending against BitTorrent-based lawsuits. I'm very familiar with this Plaintiff and can give you individualized guidance for your case.
I have years of experience defending file-sharing lawsuits and can help you achieve the best outcome possible. I have defeated several copyright plaintiffs in lawsuits around the U.S.; I also fought Malibu Media (i.e., the Plaintiff Strike 3 Holdings based their strategy on) in their first trial. I’ve represented over 1,000 defendants in both settling and litigating file-sharing lawsuits. I’ve written a subpoena defense guide for your information, as well. I'm happy to represent clients for both negotiating a settlement and fighting the case in court.
I understand most people haven't prepared for large, unexpected legal expenses and strive to respect clients' time and money. I offer flat fees for negotiating settlements to give my clients certainty. I've also represented lower income clients both in negotiations and in court, and will do my best to work within your means. I'm happy to speak with you to help advise you on what strategy is best in your situation.
I look forward to speaking with you and helping you put this matter behind you.
Yours, Leonard French
