Patrick Collins, Inc. Lawsuit

UPDATE 11-8-12: Pietz Law Firm Motion Granted by Judge Huff in Patrick Collins case in the Southern District of California.

Patrick Collins, Inc. is an adult entertainment company that recently got into a new line of business: filing hundreds of copyright infringement lawsuits against “John Doe” defendants alleging that unknown people used BitTorrent to illegally download Patrick Collins’ pornographic movies.  Generally, Patrick Collins seeks to  exploit the court’s subpoena power, and the stigma associated with pornography, to leverage “settlements” from Internet subscribers–who may or may not have actually downloaded the movies at issue.  Unfortunately, rather than incur the expense and potential embarrassment of fighting the case, many innocent people choose to “settle” for a few thousand dollars to make the case go away.

Based on its past track record and speaking generally, Patrick Collins normally does not actually follow through and then name and serve very many people with lawsuits.  Usually, Patrick Collins threatens ISP subscribers–meaning people who pay for Internet access, not necessarily the actual “John Doe” defendant who downloaded the movie–with a lawsuit, or with some kind of discovery, but most of the time the threat that someone will be named or served is an empty threat.
