Malibu Media is aggressively filing federal copyright infringement lawsuits.

This lawsuit alleges that certain IP addresses have illegally downloaded or streamed pornographic adult films from x-art.com without paying appropriate licensing fees. Your first notice of the lawsuit will probably be a letter from your internet service provider (ISP) like Comcast, Cox, Verizon or AT&T, and a subpoena from Malibu Media.

The Malibu Media lawsuit is one of many “free movie” download cases we see, which are sometimes called “copyright troll” lawsuits or BitTorrent lawsuits. BitTorrent is a common software people use to illegally obtain movies online.
