I just posted a new article entitled, “At what point does a “copyright troll” stop being a troll?”
The article discusses the current trends by Prenda Law Inc. and John Steele as far and the comments explain the reason for the uptick in defendants getting named. First Time Videos, LLC is a prominent client of John Steele’s (and is listed in the article) and thus I have included it here.
