Strike 3 Holdings Puts Pressure on Internet Subscribers by Filing Federal Lawsuits in Across the Country

As previously described, Strike 3 Holdings has filed requests for hundreds upon hundreds of internet subscribers’ identities based on bare bones allegations that their investigators observed IP addresses downloading Vixen, Tushy, or Blacked branded films through BitTorrent networks. They do this through a ‘Pure Bill of Discovery’ in Miami-Dade county court where the only relief they ask for is a subpoena for the internet subscriber’s identity. This is flawed for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that Miami-Dade county court has no jurisdiction over copyright matters and most of the internet subscribers are not in Florida.

Many defendants have fought the improper subpoenas by filing Motions to Quash (a request for the court to cancel the subpoena) and are successful at first, as Strike 3 will drop the Defendant from that case. However, this may not be the end. Strike 3 Holdings has filed more than 80 Federal cases this year. Most cases have been filed in California (38 cases) and Florida (15 cases). Additional cases have been filed in New York (10 cases), Illinois (9 cases), New Jersey (6 cases), Michigan (3 cases), Nevada (3 cases), Connecticut (2 cases), and Virginia (1 case). Approximately half of these cases include a request for a subpoena to get the subscriber’s identity from their Internet Service Provider.

Since in half the cases Strike 3 already has the Defendant’s identity, this means this Plaintiff is aggressive whether defendants fight with a motion to quash or not.

Notably, Strike 3 is usually successful in receiving a second subpoena from Federal courts. However, there are some districts in which they have been denied. If you have received a notice from your ISP that Strike 3 has subpoenaed your identity or has filed a Federal lawsuit against you, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We can explain what the case means, your options for defense, and what we recommend in your situation. We focus on exactly this type of litigation and have defended people across the country. Please be ready with your case number and IP address associated with your case.

These cases are serious. Statutory copyright infringement damages are often calculated at $2,250 per infringement. We have experience defending against these new tactics and will be able to help explain what the case means, your options for defense, and recommend the best path forward for you.

I’ve defended hundreds of cases against Strike 3 Holdings and similar Plaintiffs, both in negotiating settlements and litigating in court.

I have years 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 800 defendants in both settling and litigating file-sharing lawsuits. I’ve written a subpoena defense guide for your information, as well. I’m happy to represent clients for both negotiating a settlement and fighting the case in court.

I understand most people haven’t prepared for large, unexpected legal expenses and strive to respect clients’ time and money. I offer flat fees for negotiating settlements to give my clients certainty. I’ve also represented lower income clients both in negotiations and in court and will do my best to work within your means. I’m happy to speak with you to help advise you on what strategy is best in your situation.

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
