Keeping an eye on the interaction of law, media and IT, the US Copyright Group and SaveCinema.org are watching the news and legal precedent for you.
Telephone: +1 877 223 7212 FAX: +1 202 318 0242
To learn more about how we can help oyu and the decisions that affect file sharing, media and rights owners the world over, call us to discuss your issue. nice proofreading you have there. Lets hope it extends into your 'lawsuits' so the lawyers can't beat you up on it.
This is just yet another attempt to extort money out of a generally unaware public. This kind of 'process' needs to be made illegal or, at the very least, HEAVILY regulated like bill collectors and the like.

A NO-COST / HIGH VOLUME APPROACH.
The US Copyright Group's NO-COST / HIGH VOLUME approach is unique in the industry and provides film owners protection through top law firms on a contingency or flat-fee recovery basis. The person who unlawfully downloads a movie cannot afford to pay a $10,000 settlement to avoid legal trouble. BUT, they can and will pay $500-$1,000 to avoid civil legal prosecution for copyright infringement. Multiply these settlement amounts by 10,000, 30,000 or 50,000 infringers, and we have created a tremendous solution to stop film piracy and recover the copyright owner’s losses.

I find this disturbing, but will make a great defense.
1. They are admitting the actual damages caused are 5-10% of what the industry claims. A $10,000 settlement is for damage caused, yet only $500 will "recover the losses". Thank you, the jury will like this.
2. RICO, anyone? Is there ANY Attorney General out there at least willing to investigate RICO on this? I'm not saying they're guilty, I'm saying society should make sure they're innocent. "Class action" wasn't built to work in reverse. Bulk Lawsuits won't help the USPS delivery mail on Saturday either.
3. DMCA needs amended, we need clearer definitions on "infringement" and certainly need a better litmus test to make sure evidence is solid enough before dragging citizens into a monetary "my lawyer's wallet is bigger than yours" battle... because that is what this is hinging on. It's in writing, from the plaintiff....
I do not condone "piracy", nor do I think it should go unpunished. This isn't the solution, however. Courts are meant to be equal, forcing the defendant into bankruptcy before the judge issues a jury as part of a preconceived marathon campaign by the plaintiff is a broken system.... fix it! | |

Dallas, TX | Sounds remarkably similar to the "business model" pursued by Davenport Lyons/ACS:Law/Tilley Bailey Irvine.
I wonder if they will get the same treatment as those shysters from the UK, who even dared to sue Slyck.com for defamation.
