Strike 3 Holdings files 12 new cases in the District of Hawaii

The world’s largest copyright troll, Strike 3 Holdings, LLC, has filed an astonishing 1191 new cases since the end of May — 12 of which are lodged in the U.S. District Court for the District of Hawaii.

Strike 3 is one of the only copyright plaintiffs to file lawsuits en-masse against alleged online file-sharing. They forego the sending of warning letters or takedown notices, preferring instead to wait for potential defendants to accumulate a minimum of 24 downloads or claims before Strike 3 files a lawsuit.

I have found myself at the cutting-edge of copyright litigation, having represented over 1,500 defendants and consulted with thousands more. I recently defended an innocent Strike 3 victim together with Curt Edmonson and Stephanie Reed-Traband – a case which ended favorably on the eve of a jury trial.

We are the only attorneys to ever take a Strike 3 defense that far.

I have developed effective strategies for dealing with Strike 3 lawsuits in the best ways possible. If you or someone you know has received a notice from their ISP about a Strike 3 subpoena or lawsuit, please contact me. I can help you understand what’s happening and how to limit the damage as much as possible.

I can be reached directly at 610-466-5644 by voice or text. My email address is ljfrench@torrentdefense.com. Contact me any time, day or night, and I’ll do my best to answer or get back to you promptly.

Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.

Strike 3 Holdings Files 2 More Cases in Hawaii

What has Strike 3 Filed?

Plaintiff Strike 3 Holdings has filed 2 new Federal lawsuits in Hawaii. This is part of a nationwide blitz of over 325 cases within the last few weeks. Normally, handling so many lawsuits at once would be a daunting task, but it’s standard practice for Strike 3. Each lawsuit is nearly identical, and alleges that an investigator recorded an IP address infringing on Strike 3’s copyrights by downloading Vixen, Tushy, or Blacked films through BitTorrent networks. Strike 3 then asks the court to grant a subpoena for the name of the internet account holder behind the IP address. 

Motions to Quash

When an internet service provider, such as Verizon Fios, Comcast, Spectrum, or Cox Communications receives the subpoena, they’re obligated to alert the subscriber. This is when most people find out about the lawsuit and the need to file a Motion to Quash to challenge 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. 

What Should I Do?

Although Strike 3 files thousands of lawsuits every year, they take each one seriously, and the consequences can be significant. If not defended against, these lawsuits can have damages of at least $750 per infringement, but the Plaintiff can ask for more. This can make a typical Strike 3 Holdings case worth $10,000s, if not $100,000s in damages. These cases shouldn’t be ignored. Recently in New York, Strike 3 Holdings won a $108,750 default judgment against a defendant who did not defend themselves in court.

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 immediately. I can provide valuable information based on my years of experience. If you contact my office, you’ll be speaking with me directly. I strive to make sure that everyone who contacts me is informed, and understands their situation and all of the options available to them.

I can 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 work with a team of lawyers to make sure that I can represent you, no matter where you are. I’m very familiar with this Plaintiff, and I can give you individualized guidance for your case.
