Why Did I Receive a Subpoena from BODYGUARD PRODUCTIONS, INC?

The BODYGUARD PRODUCTIONS, INC subpoena relates to a federal copyright infringement lawsuit. Essentially, BODYGUARD PRODUCTIONS, INC is alleging that someone in the home or office illegally downloaded THE HITMAN’S BODYGUARD produced using file-sharing software such as BitTorrent without paying a license fee.

BODYGUARD PRODUCTIONS hired a law firm to sue people who allegedly downloaded their copyright movies for free and thus committing copyright infringement. When that law firm filed the lawsuit, all they had was an IP address relating to the alleged computer downloads. They did not have a name to match the IP address.

In order for the law firm to name and serve the Internet Subscriber with the lawsuit Summons and Complaint, they must first issue a subpoena to the internet company to reveal the name and address of the internet subscriber whose account matches the IP address.

When the internet company receives the subpoena, it issues the account holder a letter and copy of the subpoena it received, informing that the subpoena was received and that a motion to quash the subpoena can be filed before it releases the account subscriber’s name and address.

Essentially, BODYGUARD PRODUCTIONS is alleging that someone in the home or office illegally downloaded the movie they produced using file-sharing software such as BitTorrent without paying a license fee.

Filing a Motion to Quash the BODYGUARD PRODUCTIONS, INC Subpoena You Received

The motion to quash argues that the lawsuit’s complaints claiming copyright infringement only claim a few ‘bits’ of data were transmitted by the IP address and user in question, therefore they do not provide enough evidence to make a claim on copyright infringement, and the court should throw out the copyright infringement lawsuit brought by BODYGUARD PRODUCTIONS, INC due to deficiency, then the court should also quash the subpoena for the user in question. At Antonelli Law, we offer a flat rate for filing motions to quash a subpoena.

This option is not without risks. Contact Antonelli’s experienced ISP subpoena defense lawyers to discuss this option further.

JACKSON, AND GARY OLDMAN movie, “THE HITMAN’S BODYGUARD”. One of the most common forms of defense is claiming that the user who transmitted the data for the movie “THE HITMAN’S BODYGUARD” through a BitTorrent is not the user at this IP address.

This is a strong defense because the copyright infringement lawsuit brought against the defendant assumes that the defendant used their own IP address to transmit the data for the movie.
