San Francisco – The Adult Copyright Company plans to sue up
to 10,000 suspected downloaders of adult films on behalf of three studios in
coming weeks, CNET News.com reported.
The U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of West Virginia will handle the cases brought by the firm on behalf
of Third World Media and two other porn producers.
The lawsuits will seek the
identities of suspected porn downloaders via an IP address, which will be used
to subpoena an ISP for the corresponding customer’s identity.
Last week, a
British law firm also engaged in suing suspected porn downloaders suffered a
hacker attack, during which their servers were compromised and the names of
alleged file-swappers and the porn titles they downloaded were leaked.
