Illegal Movie Download Defenses - Will the lasuit be settled anonymously?

Attorney Steve the copyright atty, talks about bittorrent and utorrent movie download cases dealing with movies such as Malibu Media adult ographic movies.  This company protects its trademarks from illegal copyright and reproduction and if you find yourself involved in one of their "John Doe" lawsuits you will probably want to know if you will be able to settle the case confidentially and with an ability to remain anonymous.

This podcast provides a general legal overview (not legal advice) as to what happens when the torrent lawsuit is filed against your I.P. (internet protocal) address, and the ISP is served a notice of infringement and subpoena.  They will in turn forward this to the subscriber who will have a chance to try to settle the case (or file a motion to quash or motion for protective order).  During this process, it is possible to reach out to the opposing intellectual property lawyer for the adult o company and try to keep your name off the lawsuit.  Often times, there will be a long list of dirty movies with some titles that you may not want your name associated with, especially if you are a teacher, doctor, lawyer, or other professional.  We can help try to resolve these cases without your name being inserted into the federal court complaint (normally filed as a copyright infringement action in federal court).  Call us at (877) 276-5084 to discuss.
