We File Motions to Quash Subpoenas – Free Consultation With Antonelli Law Defense

You’re a target of a movie downloading lawsuit. Your first notification will be from your internet company (like Comcast). The notice will tell you the movie company subpoenaed it to release your name and address. The subpoena from Strike 3 Holdings,  ME2 Productions, Malibu Media LLC, Bodyguard Productions, or another company is usually subject to your filing a motion to quash (or vacate) the subpoena in the federal court that the copyright infringement lawsuit was filed in.

Antonelli Law has defended nearly 2,000 people across the country during the last 5 years in move downloading lawsuits. How many times have we filed a motion to quash a subpoena? Probably less than a dozen. Why so few times? As explained in our Motions to Quash page on our law firm website, we felt that most of the time the motions to quash failed to resolve the case and get rid of the client’s problem – even if the motion to quash was a winner.

But sometimes we think it is best thing to do. Last week we filed a motion to quash in federal court with several bases (not all are stated here):

1. The client was in a different state than the federal court where the lawsuit was filed, and therefore the court lacked jurisdiction over the internet account holder.
2. The lawsuit’s complaint alleging copyright infringement really only alleged that a few “bits” of data were directly observed transmitted with the IP address in question. That’s not enough to make out a copyright infringement claim. Therefore, if the court should throw out the lawsuit’s complaint, it should quash the subpoena.

We wait to see what the judge’s decision will be. One judge’s decision in the trial court is not binding on any other judge, so whatever the decision is in our case it could be very different in yours. But if we win the motion, it just may encourage us (and our clients) to file more motions to quash the subpoena.
