Los Angeles – An adult film producer has filed suit against
more than 7,000 individuals believed to have illegally shared copies of its
"Batman XXX, A Porn Parody" online, CNET News.com reported.
Axel
Braun Productions filed the complaint in U.S. District Court in the Northern
District of West Virginia.
The move follows several waves of lawsuits filed by
porn producers against file-swappers, including Third World Media and Huster
founder Larry Flynt.
Lumping large numbers of defendants into a single lawsuit
has proven controversial; digital civil liberties group the Electronic
Frontier Foundation (EFF) has condemned the practice.
