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

15 Malibu Media lawsuits dismissed in California due to untimely filings

J. Alsup denies subpoenas in 3:15-cv-06075-WHA and others
J. Alsup denies subpoenas in 3:15-cv-06075-WHA and others

FightCopyrightTrolls.com reports that Malibu has recently lost fifteen lawsuits in California due to untimely filings. Malibu has filed over 433 lawsuits so far this year (2016).

You may know that Judges often have discretion to allow parties some leeway in the procedural execution of a court case. Malibu’s cases are numerous, and Federal Civil Procedure is well established.

Malibu Media’s attorneys, some of whom seem to be responsible for hundreds of cases at a time, filed motions for time extensions just a little bit too late.

Judge William Alsup, of the Northern District of California, exercised his discretion. He denied the extensions of time to serve summons on the defendants. And, since there is now no way to comply to with the service rules, he dismissed the cases.

As an added bonus, Judge Alsup also set some local precedent, which may be good form for future filings: “Counsel should have acted promptly and diligently, and going forward, plaintiff must seek leave to serve such subpoenas within the first thirty days after a case is filed.”

I’m marking this post for all jurisdictions because it highlights the importance of experienced legal counsel. Your defense attorney must understand all the opportunities which may increase the chances of your case being dismissed. Plaintiff’s mistakes can mean thousands of dollars of savings in liability.

If you or someone you know has received notice of a Malibu Media of other file-sharing lawsuit, please don’t hesitate to call, even after-hours, at 888-801-8681. I have a ton of experience against Malibu Media, including defending one of the first defendants in the first trial in the country.

Please read this subpoena and summons guide for some clarity on some basic information. I will be able to help you understand exactly what’s going on so that you can move forward.

Yours,
