If you ignore your subpoena, you risk losing your anonymity and your options on how to handle your Malibu Media case will decrease.
If you decide to ignore your subpoena, your internet service provider (Comcast, Verizon, Cox, etc.) can release your name to Malibu Media. After Malibu Media lawyers get your name, they will amend the complaint with your name as the Defendant instead of “John Doe” in the public court documents and you will be served with a court summons, therefore losing your anonymity.
Under no circumstances should you ignore a court summons.
Some people don’t mind losing their anonymity but it’s important to speak with an experienced attorney that specializes in ISP subpoena defense so you can learn all your options and make an informed decision. Antonelli Law provides free copyright infringement consultations to those being sued by Malibu Media LLC.

Your choices for handling your Malibu Media LLC Subpoena
- Decide to fight.
If you believe you should not have received a subpoena, you can decide to take Malibu Media to court. The experienced defense team at Antonelli Law will fight back vigorously on your behalf.
- You can file a motion to quash.
Before your case goes to court you can decide to file a motion to quash. This only works in certain situations, and even if the motion is granted, the company may be able to file an amended lawsuit. To determine if your case qualifies for this option, discuss your circumstances with your ISP subpoena defense attorney.
- You can anonymously settle the case.
A settlement buys you peace of mind and, if you settle through an attorney, the ability to make payment anonymously. But it also ensures the plaintiff a profit regardless of whether or not you believe you are responsible.
If you decide that settling is the right decision for your situation, we will negotiate your settlement agreement to ensure you are fully protected from any future lawsuits for any supposed download activity that occurred prior to the settlement.

About Author
JAntonelli
Jeffrey Antonelli is a member of the federal trial bar of the Northern District of Illinois and is admitted to numerous federal courts around the country. He has been a civil litigator nearly 25 years in a broad range of actions representing corporations and individuals as plaintiffs and defendants in state and federal court.
Jeffrey has been interviewed by the media many times, including Bloomberg BNA, NBC, The New York Times, Chicago Lawyer, Chicago Tribune, and the longstanding lawyer’s publication Chicago Daily Law Bulletin.
Prior to forming Antonelli Law Ltd. in 2007 Jeffrey worked for several litigation boutiques in Chicago’s Loop as well as a full service firm. His litigation experience includes hotly contested issues in intellectual property, business, insurance, and consumer fraud. He is an adviser to the Illinois Board of Higher Education Advisory Council for Private Business and Vocational Schools (PBVS), and was a member of the Illinois State Bar Association Education Law Section Council from 2012-2013. Jeffrey is especially proud of his work representing hundreds of students defrauded by improperly accredited educational institutions, including as certified class counsel.
Before attending law school, Jeffrey was interested first in business, and then in biomedical ethics. These interests led him to graduate from the nation’s largest philosophy department at Loyola University in Chicago, where some of his favorite (and most challenging) subjects were cognitive science and philosophy of science. During college he held positions at the University of Chicago’s Ben May Institute; as a medical assistant for a University of Chicago foot and ankle surgeon; and volunteered in the emergency room at the University of Chicago Hospitals. These experiences led to studying health law at the DePaul College of Law where Jeffrey earned his law degree and a certificate in health law. At that time DePaul’s Institute for Health Law was consistently ranked in the top 10 health law specialty programs nationwide.
During law school Jeffrey immersed himself in studying the practical and public policy aspects of health care through internships at the American Medical Association in Chicago, and on Capitol Hill at the Governmental Relations Office of the Association of American Medical Colleges in Washington, DC.
Jeffrey has concentrated in civil litigation throughout his legal career, and is a member of the federal trial bar of the Northern District of Illinois, the Central District of Illinois federal court, and all federal courts of Colorado, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Indiana. In addition, he is a member of the DuPage County Bar Association and the Illinois State Bar Association.
Jeffrey prides himself on his strong personal ideals, passionate, ethical advocacy, and working hard to bring the best possible results for his clients. He also maintains a special interest in cases involving fraud. Whether due to good parenting, his family’s law enforcement employment, undergraduate studies in philosophy including ethics, or a fortuitous outcome of good breeding, one essence of Jeffrey’s character is a drive to root out the truth behind fraudulent practices.
