Another New Copyright Troll in Illinois: Torn Pictures Production Ltd.

Torn Pictures Production Ltd. has filed federal copyright infringement lawsuits involving the film titled “Rise of the Krays.” The film was directed by Zackary Adler and features Mark Preston, Nicola Stapleton and Simon Cotton. The film about two brothers starting the British Mafia is scheduled to be released in theaters in February 2016.

To date, Torn Pictures Production Ltd. has only filed lawsuits in Illinois. Five multiple Doe cases were filed in Illinois in December, targeting 124 total Does. The company is represented by Attorney Michael Hierl. This attorney has previously represented a number of other copyright holders including Dallas Buyers Club LLC, Cobbler Nevada LLC and Glacier Films Inc.

Like other BitTorrent peer-to-peer file-sharing cases, Torn Pictures Production Ltd. accuses defendants of copyright infringement by using software and the internet to obtain the film “Rise of the Krays” without paying the appropriate license fee.
