Attorney Jeffrey Antonelli has been interviewed by Bloomberg news and many others. We have defended nearly 600 people nationwide from Malibu Media LLC lawsuits, including many people in Michigan

Why Did I Receive a Subpoena from MALIBU MEDIA LLC?

MALIBU MEDIA LLC 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, MALIBU MEDIA LLC is alleging that someone in the home or office illegally downloaded adult (pornographic) movies they have produced using file-sharing software such as BitTorrent without paying a license fee.

What Do I Do About My MALIBU MEDIA LLC ISP Subpoena?

Firstly and most importantly- don’t ignore it! You have a limited amount of time to decide what to do; the longer you leave it, the fewer choices you’ll have. Typically, you have anywhere from two weeks to one month after receiving the ISP letter and MALIBU MEDIA LLC subpoena to decide what to do.

Secondly, deleting anything could make the penalties worse, don’t try to hide anything.

Don’t Sign Anything Before Speaking with a Copyright Defense Attorney

If you receive a Waiver of Service of Summons form in the mail, don’t sign it before speaking with an experienced attorney. Signing the Waiver of Service of Summons form you received in the mail from the movie company’s lawyer will in some cases lead to an unfair default or consent judgments against you.

The easiest and most common way to resolve your MALIBU MEDIA LLC case is out of court. Choosing this option allows you to settle anonymously. At Antonelli Law, we charge a flat legal fee of somewhere between $1,500 – $2,000 for anonymous settlements.

Filing a Motion to Quash the MALIBU MEDIA LLC 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 the movie company 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.

There are many defense standpoints from which we can tenaciously work to fight the copyright infringement lawsuit brought against Texas, Connecticut, New York, and Maryland area users by MALIBU MEDIA LLC over the adult (pornographic) movies from “X-Art.com”. One of the most common forms of defense is claiming that the user who transmitted the data for the adult movies featured on the X-Art.com website. 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. However, hackers often disguise their IP addresses when illegally transmitting data online, so in many cases, the defendant is not at fault and did not commit copyright infringement by downloading Malibu Media LLC (X-Art.com) movies over a bit torrent.
