The produces of The Hurt Locker aren’t the only ones going after file shares. According to reports, three adult film producers are getting ready to send subpoenas to ISPs across the United States to obtain the identities of subscribers they claim illegally shared movies over the Internet.
Kenneth Ford, the attorney representing the film makers and who also operates an antipiracy company called Adult Copyright Company, has already been granted motions for early discovery by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia, resulting in 5,000 lawsuits.
“My intention is to file suit against several thousand more illegal downloaders in the next week or two,” Ford said. “The coming lawsuits will name in the neighborhood of 10,000 Doe defendants.”
