Copyright stories: $241,000 for FIVE Bittorrent downloads - The Bellwether Trial
February 22, 2016·32K views·1K likes·183 comments
Today I thought I'd share the story of a man who received a $241,000 judgment against him for downloading just FIVE videos via bittorrent file sharing. The case occurred in 2012-2013. http://torrentdefense.com/2013-6-19-bellwether-memorandum-opinion/
I will be bringing you more on the over 5,000 bittorrent-based lawsuits that have been filed around the country in the last four years. Next up will be the story of Prenda Law, whose firm is shut down and its leaders under investigation in pursuit of disbarment.
