New Copyright Plaintiff: Three Times Dope, Walter C. Griggs, III v. John Does 1-188, 2:16-cv-00651-GAM

A new copyright plaintiff has filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Walter C. Griggs, III, has claimed that 34 musical works were infringed by 188 defendants from November to December of 2015. The copyright lawsuit is docketed under case number 2:16-cv-00651-GAM. The Plaintiff is not new to this kind of lawsuit; a previous complaint against 94 defendants was filed in 2010. Mr. Griggs and his attorney seek money damages as well as injunctive orders against the alleged infringers. The suit alleges the unauthorized downloads infringed upon Plaintiff's works as the group "Three Times Dope", a hip-hop artist from the late 1980s. Defendants in the Griggs lawsuit can expect to begin receiving notices of the subpoenas from their service providers soon, but not yet, as the court must still approve the subpoenas. These subpoenas seek the subscribers’ names and addresses. Plaintiffs typically use the identities to pursue settlements or further litigation.
