au contraire

In the amicus briefs, the San Francisco-based EFF pointed to cases filed by two porn studios — Third World Media and Mick Haig Productions — whose suits share the same tactics by filing mass lawsuits based on single counts of copyright infringement and improperly lumping hundreds of defendants together regardless of where the IP addresses indicate the defendants live.
"Suing hundreds or even thousands of people together en masse, in states in which the vast majority of the accused downloaders appear to have no connection, amounts to a deliberate end-run around their due process rights," said Matt Zimmerman, the EFF's senior staff attorney. "The suits seem designed to ensure that few, if any, defendants will fight back, given the risk of shame from being publicly identified."
