Nationwide Explosion of Online Piracy Bittorrent Lawsuits is 50% of new Copyright Litigation

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

2018 has seen a huge increase in new copyright litigation being filed against anonymous “John Doe” defendants who are accused of downloading movies and videos via file-sharing or Bittorrent-based software. Approximately 1450 new bittorrent lawsuits have been filed in 2018 so far.

This represents over 50% of new copyright litigation in the United States at this time.

My firm has been representing defendants in these kinds of cases for almost 7 years, now. We have helped over 600 defendants through their cases while mitigating or avoiding the potential damage of a federal copyright lawsuit.

31 New Strike 3 Holdings Lawsuits filed in New Jersey

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

The new year has brought an uptick in new copyright litigation filed against anonymous internet users, with over 442 new “John Doe” copyright lawsuits filed since the Jan 1st .

John Doe copyright lawsuits accounted for 716 of 3680 new copyright filings for the entire Federal Circuit in 2017, representing approximately 20% of all new copyright litigation.

The new Plaintiff, Strike 3 Holdings, alleges violations involving adult videos. This is their first round of lawsuits in New Jersey.

The online nature of the alleged infringement presents a challenge to defendants wishing to put forth a full legal defense. Defendants often find the litigation to more complicated, protracted, and expensive, than a simple case of file-sharing would initially seem.

The United States has seen a rise in this kind of litigation as more and more Plaintiffs learn how to monetize allegations of online copyright infringement.

Defendants’ first notice of a case is usually a Letter from their Internet Service Provider notifying them that the Plaintiff is seeking their identity. If the case is not resolved there, the Plaintiff usually serves the Defendant with a Summons to respond in Federal District court.

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.; I also fought Malibu Media in their first trial. I’ve represented over 600 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

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

Even more new copyright litigation has been filed against anonymous internet users in New York and New Jersey in January of 2018.

John Doe copyright lawsuits represent 716 of 3680 new copyright filings for the entire Federal Circuit in 2017.

Malibu Media, the Plaintiff in 24 new New York and and 17 New Jersey copyright lawsuits, alleges violations involving adult videos. Malibu Media is an experienced file-sharing-litigation Plaintiff; it has likely filed the largest number of copyright lawsuits in history.
