Justice Everywhere Productions, LLC., the movie company behind “Vengeance: A love Story” starring Nicolas Cage and Anna Hutchinson, has begun to sue internet users across the country.

According to the Justice Everywhere Productions LLC lawsuit this amounts to copyright infringement and they allege they can prove it pursuant to the US Copyright Act.
Antonelli Law represents people targeted in ISP subpoenas and lawsuits nationwide. In fact, over the past 6 years we have represented nearly 2,000 clients from lawsuits filed by more than 50 different movie companies from Hawaii to New York.

The Justice Everywhere Productions LLC. lawsuit is one of many “free movie” download cases we see, which are sometimes called “copyright troll” lawsuits or BitTorrent copyright lawsuits. In at least one lawsuit filed in Pennsylvania by Justice Everywhere Productions LLC. the lawsuit alleges it used “a consultant” to obtain “a piece” of the file that was being shared online using BitTorrent file-sharing protocol. It then attaches a report that explains MaverickEye technology. It is not clear from the allegations whether Justice Everywhere Productions LLC actually used MaverickEye technology.
BitTorrent is a common software “protocol” many people use to illegally obtain movies online. Our experience representing so many people and understanding the technology behind these lawsuits allowed us to write a legal article explaining these lawsuits to other lawyers. It was published by a prominent state bar Intellectual Property Section, called “Torrent Wars”.

Justice Everywhere Productions Lawsuits – They Are the Same as Other Movie Download Lawsuits
Overall, these Justice Everywhere Productions LLC. lawsuits are the same as similar lawsuits filed by other movie companies. They all have the same thing in common: The internet user’s IP address associated with their internet account was observed participating in a download of the movie company’s movie.
But too often, the internet accountholder simply did not do it. The IP address could have been “spoofed”, meaning some other computer somewhere in the world pretended to be the IP address associated with an American’s internet account. Its like having a fake driver’s license with your license number on it. Except their computer is pretending to be using your internet account with your internet IP address.
Other times, it could have been a family member, someone stealing your wi-fi signal from your home, or for some other reason that has nothing to do with the copyright infringement alleged. And yes, sometimes the IP address observation is part of an accurate description of the internet account holder illegally downloading the movie. See below for important information about these cases written recently by a law professor, Loyola Law Professor Matthew Sag.

Does Justice Everywhere Productions LLC Have Enough Data to Prove Its Claims?
In a word, maybe. In many free movie lawsuits like this one, the movie company alleges that its agents obtained data from the alleged IP address of the defendant in what is called a BitTorrent “swarm” – which is one way people download large files.
How Much Data is Enough for a Legally Sufficient Lawsuit Complaint?
In some cases, these lawsuits can be challenged because the Plaintiff must show:
- It has ownership of a valid copyright and
- The defendant violated the copyright owner’s exclusive rights under the Copyright Act.
In one case Antonelli Law defended (a different movie than the one here), we contended that Plaintiff did not allege sufficient evidence to show that any of its copyrighted materials were violated. The movie company submitted a declaration of its agent (not the same as the company in this article) stating that “multiple bits were conveyed over [the] connection.” However, we argued, multiple “bits” of data do not translate to a viewable image close enough to approximate being substantially similar to the movie company’s copyrighted work.
As Law Professor Matthew Sag states in his recent article “Defense Against the Dark Arts of Copyright Trolling”:
“the isolated “bits” of the movie that [Plaintiff] supposedly received from the defendant’s IP address do not meet the standard for copyright infringement. In the cases that we have studied, the plaintiffs have offered declarations that defendant’s IP address was observed transmitting data with a certain hash value. That hash value, it is alleged, is the same as the hash value of a piece that the witness combined with other pieces to create a file identical to the copyright owner’s work… note that these declarations say nothing about the size or contents of the portions of the work actually downloaded from the defendant’s IP address. In essence, the plaintiff can only state truthfully that its software observed the defendant’s IP address transmitting a fraction of the work….”There is nothing in either declaration that would allow the court to conclude that the “bits” and “pieces” captured by [plaintiff’s experts’] technology as allegedly distributed from Doe’s IP address meet the standard of originality justifying a finding that they are protectable elements of the works.
So How Much Data Did Justice Everywhere Productions Allegedly Observe From Defendants?
In at least one Justice Everywhere Productions lawsuit, the movie company’s lawsuit Complaint states that “a piece” of the movie file was observed and obtained by the movie company’s consultant.
Is this all the evidence that they have?
If so, are these allegations in the Justice Everywhere Productions lawsuit enough to withstand a motion to dismiss the Complaint under federal rule 12(b)(6)? A defendant will need to ask the judge to make that determination. It may cost more to do this than to settle, but this could be the right strategy for some who are targeted in Justice Everywhere Productions lawsuits.
Its Worth Repeating: Don’t Sign a Waiver of Service of Summons Form Before Speaking with an Attorney
As defense attorneys, we are concerned that people who receive a Waiver of Service of Summons form in the mail from the movie company’s lawyer will lead to an unfair default judgment against them. Please speak with an attorney experienced in movie download federal copyright lawsuits before you sign a Waiver of Service of Summons form.
Like other BitTorrent peer-to-peer file-sharing cases, Justice Everywhere Productions LLC. accuses defendants of copyright infringement by using software and the internet to obtain the film “London Has Fallen” without paying the appropriate license fee. There will likely be more lawsuits filed by Justice Everywhere Productions LLC.
If your internet address (“IP address”) is involved, your first notice of the lawsuit will probably be a letter from COX Communications internet and a copy of a subpoena from Justice Everywhere Productions LLC. Scroll down for additional information about these lawsuits.

What Are the Steps in a Justice Everywhere Productions LLC. Lawsuit?
Each lawsuit is filed in federal court and requests permission to find out the real names of internet users associated with IP addresses suspected of being part of the movie downloading. This is done by sending a subpoena to the internet company (ISP). Most people find out they are involved in the lawsuit when they receive a letter from their internet company (ISP) such as Comcast, COX, Comcast, or Verizon informing them of the copyright infringement allegations. A copy of a Justice Everywhere Productions LLC. Subpoena will probably be enclosed.
If you are the account holder for an internet service provider (ISP), your name is linked to an IP address. If you receive an ISP letter or email informing you a subpoena was received to reveal your identity for a copyright infringement lawsuit. You have the right to file something called a motion to quash the subpoena, although the risks and benefits of filing one should be discussed with a qualified attorney.
