CASES FILED BY MIKE MEIER OF THE COPYRIGHT LAW GROUP IN THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA:
Zero Tolerance Entertainment, Inc. v. John Does 1-9 (Case No. 3:12-cv-00347)
Zero Tolerance Entertainment, Inc. in my opinion is a more litigious production company than the others. Before figuring out that they can slam their own customers (or would-be customers) with lawsuits, they used to go after the website providers who pirated their pornographic films.
In 2009, they filed against the FreshGirls.tv website owner for copyright infringement. Then last month, they filed against IG Media Incorporated / International Media Limited / Igor Gens (see, Case No. 2:12-cv-01317 in the Arizona District Court) also for copyright infringement.
In short, you can see they are no stranger to the courtroom. To handle their newest business model of suing internet users who download their films using bittorrent, their are using the Copyright Enforcement Group, Inc. (CEG-TEK) attorney Mike Meier to file the lawsuits on their behalf.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw more of these moving forward.
I guess they are back in business again. This time going after the web site myjizztube{.}com, Henery Goss, & Does 1-50. Docs can be found here – https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B5nZyNTueSnNckR5SXJ5M1Q0eE0&usp=sharing
The complaint lists 3 movies and the Does are people who acted in concert with the site/Goss. I assume it means the up-loaders, but they could just as easily go after the IP addresses that streamed/downloaded the movies. That is if they are able to get the complete Web server logs and not just the logs/record of who uploaded the 3 movies. More to come on this one I’m sure.
