STRIKE 3 HOLDINGS LLC ISP Subpoena: Michigan television interview of defense attorney Jeffrey Antonelli on the STRIKE 3 HOLDINGS LLC copyright lawsuits targeting Michigan internet users. The movie company behind the movie brands “TUSHY, VIXEN, AND BLACKED” is suing Michigan, as well as California, Pennsylvania, New jersey, New York, and Connecticut residents users for using computer file-sharing software to obtain its movie for free.

WOOD TV of Michigan recently aired this interview of defense attorney Jeffrey Antonelli who is defending clients sued by STRIKE 3 HOLDINGS LLC.

From the interview:

““Strike 3 is taking a particularly aggressive tone in their lawsuits,” said Jeffrey Antonelli, a Chicago-based attorney specializing in internet and BitTorrent law.

He says he is all too familiar with suits like this that are filed all over the country.

Antonelli says the way the suits are naming the targets is a problem because while someone may be an IP address holder, those addresses can be faked or the internet service can be used by others who hook up to that internet access.

He says there are third-party sites such that seem legitimate to users but are using BitTorent in the background without the viewer knowing it.

“There are legitimate intellectual property rights that are at stake here, I have no doubt, however there are a lot of concerns over the manner in which companies, like Strike 3, are enforcing their copyrights in this litigation,” Antonelli said.

The company wants users to be ordered to delete digital files of its property and pay damages and attorney fees.

Those damages could be more than $150,000.

Those targeted by the lawsuit will likely receive a letter from their internet provider saying they are the subject of the suit and inform the defendant of their rights.

Suits like this have been filed around the country with varying degrees of success.

This can be a highly specialized field of law that not every attorney is versed in.”

Filing a Motion to Quash the STRIKE 3 HOLDINGS 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 STRIKE 3 HOLDINGS LLC 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.

There are many defense standpoints from which we can tenaciously work to fight the copyright infringement lawsuit brought against MICHIGAN, users by STRIKE 3 HOLDINGS LLC over the movie brands, “TUSHY, VIXEN, AND BLACKED”. One of the most common forms of defense is claiming that the user who transmitted the data for the movie “TUSHY, VIXEN, AND BLACKED” 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 “TUSHY, VIXEN, AND BLACKED” over a bit torrent.
