Porn industry goes after filesharers - GoFuckYourself.com

BettingHandle · 02-01-2011, 11:48 AM

DOWNLOADING pornography over Bittorrent looks to be the easiest way of finding yourself fingered by lawyers for filesharing.

A chap who wants to remain anonymous has collated publically available data on US cases against alleged filesharers during the period from 8 January 2010 through 21 January 2011. Some of the plaintiffs include such silver screen luminaries as Dogfart Productions, New Sensations and Hard Drive Productions.

The figures show that almost 100,000 US peer-to-peer (P2P) users were sued in the past 12 months. The findings also highlight that the adult entertainment business has gotten excited by the mass litigation model of revenue generation, with most of the recent cases having been initiated by X-rated movie studios.

Out of the 99,924 individuals sued, the vast majority are alleged to have used Bittorrent to disseminate copyrighted content.

As each case typically contains many defendants, the 68 cases that are still active list over 70,000 defendants. The data shows that there was a sharp spike in the number of individual defendants sued during the last three months of 2010.

While film studios and their lawyers might think that threating to haul filesharers into court is an easy way to make boatloads of cash, the US law firms gunning for alleged so-called 'pirates' only need to look at what happened to ACS:Law and its principal, Andrew Crossley, as a warning that things might not go all their own way.

With so much publicity about torrents being the way sharers get easiest caught I don't understand why they are so popular.

Why? They are policing their content and hurting the thief where it hurts most... the wallet.

If every single person that downloaded or streamed a jacked porn movie on the internet was always worried that they would get slapped with a lawsuit with the ability to settle out for say a few hundred bucks (as well as spare themselves the humiliation), they would think twice about doing it again.

Especially if it happens two or three times. At that point, maybe they might just figure it's not worth it and actually buy a membership.
