Cell Film Lawsuits begin across the United States

Reddit user /u/beardfearer may fear beards, but not copyright notices

Another Copyright Plaintiff joins the fray

Cell Film lawsuit discovery has begun around the country in a new wave a cases from a new plaintiff.

“Cell”, the 2016 horror movie starring John Cusack (4.3/10 on IMDB and 2.5/4 from Roger Ebert) is now the property behind a new wave of copyright lawsuits that have been filed across the country. The plaintiffs demand copyright damages that total in the thousands of dollars from hundreds of defendants.

Like the “mysterious cellphone signal [that] transforms New Englanders into savage killers” in the film, the love of money seems to have transformed the Cell Film owner into participating in the wave of litigation stemming from bittorrent-based file-sharing.

And in Pennsylvania, the Cell Film case is before Judge Michael Baylson, the very same judge that held the Malibu Media Bellwether Trial – the same trial that set the stage for Malibu Media’s thousands of lawsuits in the past four years.

There are weaknesses in this case that make it defensible under some circumstances. If you have received a notice in one of these cases, please don’t hesitate to call me immediately at 888.801.8681. If calling after-hours, please leave a message; I do return calls after-hours.

I have a ton 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. and I fought Malibu Media in their first trial. I’ve represented over 400 defendants in both settling and litigating file-sharing lawsuits. I’ve written a subpoena defense guide for your information, as well.

I look forward to speaking with you and helping you put this matter behind you. Please don’t hesitate to call. 888.801.8681.

Yours,
Leonard French

Eastern New York Malibu Media lawsuit discovery resumes; Motion to Quash denied

Malibu Media Lawsuit EDNY Stay Lifted

 

Malibu Media Lawsuits Resume on Long Island

Last October, Eastern District of New York Magistrate Judge Stephen I. Locke  stayed all Malibu Media lawsuit discovery pending the outcome of a Motion to Quash filed by one of the defendants.

That Defendant’s Motion to Quash has since been denied and the stay has been lifted as of August 23rd, 2016. Subpoena notices are already making their way to defendants.

Judge Locke cited all the usual reasons for denying Motions to Quash in Malibu Media cases.  The defendant isn’t the recipient of the subpoena, and therefore doesn’t have standing, and even if they did, that the subpoena is not an undue burden, and that defendant’s identity is not privileged or confidential information.

The ruling means that the Eastern District of New York is yet another forum that allows Malibu Media lawsuits to proceed far enough to encourage settlements.

If you have received a notice in one of these cases, please don’t hesitate to call me immediately at 888.801.8681. If calling after-hours, please leave a message; I do return calls after-hours.

I have a ton of experience defending file-sharing lawsuits and can help you achieve the best outcome possible. I have defeated several copyright plaintiffs around the U.S. and I fought Malibu in their first trial. I’ve represented over 500 defendants in both settling and litigating Malibu Media lawsuits. I’ve written a subpoena defense guide for your information, as well.

I look forward to speaking with you and helping you put this matter behind you. Please don’t hesitate to call. 888.801.8681.

Yours,
Leonard French

Malibu Media lawsuits resume in NJ with 29 new cases

Reddit user /u/beardfearer may fear beards, but not copyright notices

Malibu Media has filed 29 new federal copyright lawsuits after a five month hiatus. No, not a relaxing vacation for the largest filer of new copyright litigation in history. Rather, (allegedly) a long-brewing dispute over money became a sticking point between Malibu’s owners and their (now former) attorney, Keith Lipscomb. That dispute seems be mostly about Lipscomb’s representation and retention of client funds.

These new lawsuits mirror the same tactics used in the previous operation, demanding compensation for copyright infringement, not sharing or distribution, and accumulating at least a dozen infringements before suit.

Defendants in the newest of these lawsuits can expect to begin receiving notices of the subpoenas from their service providers shortly, in not already. These subpoenas seek the subscribers’ names and addresses. Plaintiffs typically use the identities to pursue settlements or further litigation.

If you have received a notice in one of these cases, please don’t hesitate to call me immediately at 888.801.8681. If calling after-hours, please leave a message; I do return calls after-hours.

I have a ton 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. and I fought Malibu in their first trial. I’ve represented over 400 defendants in both settling and litigating Malibu Media lawsuits. I’ve written a subpoena defense guide for your information, as well.

I look forward to speaking with you and helping you put this matter behind you. Please don’t hesitate to call. 888.801.8681.

Yours,
Leonard French
