LHF Productions Subpoenas North Carolinians for “London Has Fallen” Downloads

North Carolinians are going to be surprised by a letter they will be receiving from Charter Communications and CenturyLink. What’s included with the letter? A subpoena from LHF Productions, Inc. Residents in the following cities will be receiving the letters:

Asheville, Benson, Boone, Clayton, Hickory, Holly Springs, Lenoir, Lillington, Louisburg, Maiden, Snow Hill, Wake Forest, and Wilkesboro

A federal lawsuit from the makers of the movie “London Has Fallen” alleges that customers of Charter Communications and CenturyLink illegally downloaded the movie from the Internet. If the allegations are proven including that file-sharing software such as BitTorrent was used, the down-loaders face up to $150,000 in statutory damages plus attorneys fees. While that top damage award is rare, a judge can award anything within a wide area of discretion from $750 to the top award of $150,000.

The name of the file these defendants are alleged to have downloaded is “London Has Fallen 2016 1080p BluRay x264” with file hash number SHA1: 6B30D9F4FB05238053EA9201DDC079FF27923D59.
