This Torrent Defenders® explainer is educational. It is not legal advice. Antonelli Law® defends people and businesses against copyright claims. We do not represent copyright holders. We do not invent a national 24-hour clock. A call is not a decision to go to trial. Most people who contact us want a quiet, confidential resolution. We also defend these cases in federal court when that is the better path.
If the letter is already on the table
Read the full case number and the deadline on the letter before you call anyone. An ISP letter is usually notice that the Internet provider (ISP) such as Spectrum or ATT was ordered to identify an account. It is not a finding that you downloaded anything, and it is not the same document as a summons naming you.
The deadline on your letter is the one that matters, at least at first. It is often the date the ISP’s says is the last day to send them a “motion to quash” if you filed one in court. After that date, they can send your name and address at any time to the movie company attorney. Notices for an October 1 lawsuit filing usually arrive weeks later, not the day the case is opened.
Email the letter, or upload it, when you book. Your ISP letter might describe the lawsuit targeting with one of the following names: the civil action number, the docket number, or a case number. But the important part is the number that looks something like: 1:26-cv-01000.

What a Strike 3 Holdings lawsuit is
A Strike 3 Holdings Ohio case is usually a federal copyright complaint filed against a John Doe subscriber tied to an IP address, not against a person already named in the caption. Strike 3 Holdings, LLC is an adult-film company.
The lawsuits allege that someone in the home or business used BitTorrent software to obtain copies of their movies without paying for a license. The company then asks the court for permission to subpoena the internet provider for the account holder’s name and address.

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.
