Malibu Media LLC, the producer of pornographic films on the x-art.com website has returned to filing lawsuits against internet users in the Northern District of Illinois (Chicago) for allegedly downloading its movies for free from the internet in violation of the US Copyright Act.

In prior years, Malibu Media LLC filed a great many lawsuits in the Northern District of Illinois but ceased in early to mid 2016. This new round of lawsuits in 2017 appears to coordinated as part of a new litigation campaign Malibu Media LLC has begun across the country.

Malibu Media LLC  owns the X-Art.com website and alleges the people it sues are users of BitTorrent file-sharing technology that are illegally obtaining and sharing their copyrighted movies for free. Significant questions have arisen regarding the methods the company’s agents employ in order to obtain the IP addresses of the lawsuits’ defendants.

Our clients say Antonelli Law is very good at:

Our attorneys and local counsel are admitted to the district courts wherever Malibu Media LLC  lawsuits are filed from coast to coast. We are able to represent you in your federal case without being more expensive or more difficult to hire than hiring a local law firm in part because federal courts require attorneys to file their papers electronically, and often conduct hearings by telephone. This makes frequent trips to the courthouse unnecessary. We can also defend you and help protect your anonymity in a Malibu Media LLC lawsuit if circumstances allow.

Some of our attorneys are listed below. We represent clients in Hawaii, California, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Texas, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Louisiana, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Washington DC, and Virginia.

Attorneys: Don’t risk malpractice in a copyright lawsuit where the  loser pays statutory and attorneys fees.  If you usually handle divorce, real estate, or other non-IP matters these cases are not for you. We accept attorney referrals and are very experienced in this specialized litigation.
