Are you a Reddit User who received a Strike 3 Holdings subpoena? Did you ignore the subpoena because you use a VPN? Got served?
Let me share with you my experience with a Strike 3 Holdings LLC throwaway account where we searched Reddit.com posts to sort quality information from garbage.

Navigating Reddit: Finding Quality Posts About Strike 3 Holdings Lawsuits
Reddit is a platform known for its ethos of transparency and authentic user engagement, making it an excellent space for discussions on legal matters like Strike 3 Holdings lawsuits.
Most users go to reddit.com and find posts containing testimonials, such as:
“I just received a letter from my ISP provider about a lawsuit that Strike 3 filed against me. I looked online and attorneys tell me to file a motion to quash the subpoena,” or, “they offered to negotiate a settlement with the Strike 3 lawyers and we ended up settling.”
Or,
“I received a subpoena from my ISP about some copyright troll filing a bogus federal case; I ignored the letter and I got sued,” or “I was talking to lawyers – most of whom try to get you to settle – and I found a lawyer who advised me to wait before trying to litigate or get a settlement.”
These are fine. Testimonies from Reddit users about conversations about what the lawyer would do (or has done) to help them protect their client’s identity and to stop the internet service provider from sharing their information are fine. Similarly, personal opinions and statements are also fine.
The problem is that when browsing these posts, Reddit users often find themselves wading through a sea of promotional junk written by self-promoting attorneys, which can distract you from genuine legal advice. This unethical attorney behavior violates Reddit’s fundamental purpose: to inform, educate, and provide value to its users.
For example, I see attorneys writing posts, such as,
“Received a notice from your ISP? Are you the accused downloader in one of the Strike 3 cases? You must act within a month or else Strike 3’s lawyers will get your name and address and take you to court! You can’t do this on you own! You need a lawyer to get a settlement with Strike 3 so that you can make it go away. We offer flat fees to get you a dismissal in your civil case. Contact the law firm I work for at this number, and he’ll get them to settle and drop the case.”
There are so many things wrong with this post.
Below, I’ll walk you through how to identify credible sources of information while avoiding the all-too-common traps set by opportunistic lawyers looking to reel in unsuspecting clients who were caught downloading a torrent file.
Why These Lawyers are Compromising the Ethics of Reddit
Reddit thrives because users come to the site with the expectation that discussions are led by authentic voices. Unfortunately, some attorneys abuse this trust by posting comments and articles not to share quality information but to leave their law firm’s phone number. They wrap these “contributions” in pseudo-legal advice that’s essentially marketing their services to the John Doe Defendant, which is unprincipled self-promotion. This kind of engagement undermines the community’s faith in the platform and turns a trusted space into a breeding ground for misinformation.
The problem here is deeper than just junk posts; it involves misleading legal advice that can affect what ISP subscribers do, and they cause their readers to act in a way that harms them (where they end up missing timebound opportunities, or where they do something detrimental when they could have just decided to ignore the initial letter from their ISP and received the identical result).
When attorneys participate in legal discussions with ulterior motives, they create confusion, especially for individuals looking for reliable advice on complex matters like how to defend against their copyright infringement lawsuit. It’s not just unprofessional—it’s an ethical breach of trust.
To navigate through the noise, Reddit users need to learn to distinguish between valuable content and self-serving lawyer spam.
Hallmarks of a High-Quality Reddit Top Posts
When navigating Reddit’s threads on Strike 3 Holdings, it’s essential to know what makes a post worth your time, especially when considering the vast amount of legal advice given by anonymous users (many of whom are non-lawyers who are unfamiliar with the law, and might be leading their readers down a dangerous path leading to an outcome they can’t change). Here are some signs that a post is authentic, reliable, and provides value:
Objective Analysis with No Self-Promotion: The best posts are written by users who have experience, whether through personal involvement or professional knowledge, and share detailed insights without linking to their services or mentioning their firm’s name.
For example, a valid Reddit user sharing his own experience that “I ignored it and nothing happened” is fine. Or, “when they didn’t drop the case, we ended up settling” is fine. Even non-lawyer advice can be fine, such as “make an account on PACER so that you can see your case files and save on legal fees, without needing to hire an attorney.” Again, I have no issues with these.
In-Depth Discussions and Explanations: Look for posts that break down the intricacies of the litigation, explaining terms like “motion to quash” or “settlement strategy” in a way that shows expertise, not marketing savvy.
Engagement with Other Users’ Comments: A good sign of a credible post is when the author actively engages with questions and provides clarifications without diverting the conversation to “contact me for more information.”
References to External Legal Resources and ISP Subpoena Pages: Credible posts often link to statutes, reputable articles by other attorneys, or court documents rather than telling their readers to contact them offline. Credible posts also link to other attorneys’ ISP Subpoena articles which include legal advice on whether you even need to do anything about your copy of the subpoena that was sent to your ISP, not to you.
Transparent Language and Honest Tone: Genuine posters often write with a tone of transparency and integrity. They might mention their background without turning the post into a thinly veiled sales pitch which ends with them sharing their phone number or their email address associated with the legal services they offer to provide you.
Red Flags: How to Spot Self-Promotional Junk Posts
Not every Reddit post is what it seems. When evaluating posts, be on the lookout for the following red flags, which suggest the author’s primary intent is self-promotion rather than helping the community:
Blatant Solicitation of Business: Comments that include “Contact me if you’re in this situation” or “Here’s my phone number” are immediate red flags. These attorneys are not there to help; they’re there to capture business by giving incomplete and questionable legal advice.
Overuse of Legal Jargon Without Explanation: If a post is filled with complex legal terminology and no effort is made to explain it to a layperson, the author might be trying to confuse the reader and portray a false sense of authority.
Link Spam and Call-to-Actions: When you see multiple links to the author’s own website or phrases like “For more, visit my page,” you’re dealing with a self-promoter rather than someone offering genuine help.
Lack of Real Engagement: Posts that ignore follow-up questions or comments likely indicate that the author is not interested in dialogue—they’re there to make a one-sided sales pitch.
Excessive Mention of “Experience” Without Substance: Some attorneys fill their posts with mentions of how many cases they’ve handled or their “decades of experience,” but offer little in terms of actionable advice. If it reads like a resume, it’s probably a pitch.
Examples of Quality Reddit Posts on Strike 3 Holdings
Below are some samples of well-written, informative posts on Reddit that exemplify the characteristics of a credible contribution [again, these are EXAMPLES. I thought of citing actual articles, and even calling out certain attorneys, but I decided against it. So if I accidentally used your real Reddit handle, send me a message (u/houstonlawy3r), and I’ll change it]:

No hype here on pushing you to settle with Strike 3.
Examples of Suspicious Reddit Posts on Strike 3 Holdings
These posts, on the other hand, raise red flags and are likely crafted for self-promotion rather than providing any real value:
User: @TopCopyrightAttorney Post: “I’ve helped hundreds of clients against Strike 3 Holdings. Contact me today if you want a free consultation!” Why It’s Suspicious: Direct solicitation for business.
User: @LegalAid2000 Post: “If you don’t know what to do, call this number. Don’t wait until it’s too late!” Why It’s Suspicious: Urgent, fear-inducing language aimed at creating panic about a download you once did which might never turn into a lawsuit.
User: @LitigationExpertNYC Post: “I’ve been practicing law for over 20 years. Trust me, you don’t want to face Strike 3 without a strong attorney on your side.” Why It’s Suspicious: Appeals to authority without providing practical information.

Visit my site for more details on how I can help [for a small fee].” Why It’s Suspicious: Non-attorney referencing personal site offering legal services (this is illegal).
User: @QuickLegalHelp Post: “Most people make the mistake of not calling an attorney right away. Don’t be that person. Here’s my number.” Why It’s Suspicious: Pushes the John Doe accused defendant to call, trying to scare rather than educating.
Final Thoughts: Defending the Integrity of Reddit
As a platform, Reddit is only as valuable as the quality of its contributors. If attorneys continue to abuse Reddit’s structure to funnel clients rather than help those in need of genuine guidance, they risk damaging the community’s faith in the forum’s discussions.
For users, the best course of action is to remain vigilant, critically evaluate each post, and remember that true experts understand that providing value and transparency comes first.
Have you been hit with a lawsuit by Strike 3 Holdings, LLC? If so, you’re likely feeling angry and frustrated, and you, like me, would like to Stop Strike 3 Holdings Lawsuits from being allowed to continue. I do have a few opinions on how to stop the lawsuit as quickly and inexpensively as possible – and that’s what this blog post is all about.
The answers may surprise you! In this blog post, we’ll dive deep into what Strike 3 Holdings is, why their lawsuits are often seen as an extortion scheme, why lawyers don’t always deliver results when fighting against them – plus I’m sheepishly throwing a bit of blame on judges and the ISPs when answering how to stop Strike 3 Holdings Lawsuits once and for all (without you spending thousands of dollars to either settle or litigate the claims against you). So start reading & get ready to feel comfortable that at least we are talking about this.
What Is Strike 3 Holdings?
Strike 3 Holdings is a company that has made a fortune by bringing federal lawsuits against tens of thousands of people across the United States who get sued for illegally downloading Strike 3’s pornographic films. While some Strike 3 Holdings cases might have legitimate legal claims, in my opinion, the majority of their lawsuits are based on weak evidence and a reliance on the ISPs identifying copyright infringers by IP address. The reality is that most of these suits are nothing more than an attempt to convince a judge that an anonymous John Doe downloaded a handful of their copyrighted adult film movies by showing them a list of infringements that might not have even been downloaded by the accused defendant.
The Strike 3 Holdings copyright holder also relies on a bunch of settlement attorneys. These settlement attorneys work together – one attorney being listed on the other attorney’s website. Really, the whole thing seems to be a cottage industry or a settlement mill designed to extort money from innocent people who can’t afford to go to court or hire an attorney.
TorrentFreak referred to these guys as a “settlement factory,” and websites like DieTrollDie and FightCopyrightTrolls referred to them as “weretrolls.” One attorney has been speaking out about them calling the whole cottage industry a settlement factory of attorneys.
To File a Motion to Quash Does not Protect The John Doe Attempting to Fight Strike 3 Holdings LLC.
The good news is that there are ways to stop Strike 3 Holdings lawsuits once and for all, but they have nothing to do with the advice the traditional attorneys are giving you.
They will tell you that, “by filing a motion to quash the subpoena issued by your ISP, you can put an end to this type of harassment and protect your privacy rights.” Not True.
Or, they’ll say, “you can try negotiating with Strike 3 Holdings for an out-of-court settlement covering all past claims against you,” or “have your lawyer draft up a “no settlement letter” on your behalf.” (We did these in 2017, but they did not work as planned.)
Even if successful, these might have resolved YOUR lawsuit, but they wouldn’t stop the Strike 3 Holdings lawsuits.
Rather, my call to action is to the judges and the ISPs.
Judges – stop issuing expedited subpoenas exposing the name and address of the accused defendant unless the plaintiff attorney could prove that someone actually downloaded their copyrighted titles.
ISPs – stop making it so easy for plaintiff attorneys to sue your customers.
Are Strike 3 Holdings Lawsuits Legal?
Everyone says that Strike 3 lawsuits are nothing more than a settlement extortion scheme, but are they legal? Apparently yes, but maybe if they file these lawsuits without intending to actually fight each lawsuit, then this might not be legal.
The company uses its own version of the “settlement mill” model, where it mass produces lawsuits against individuals for allegedly downloading copyrighted material. The company then offers out-of-court settlements to defendants, and if they refuse to pay up, they risk defending against an expensive court battle with an “uneven playing field.”
Strike 3 Holdings has been known to have the ISPs send out hundreds of subpoenas across the US to have them release customer information so that it can pursue its victims with its lawsuits. To find defendants with “deep pockets,” (as we saw in June, 2023 with the Ohio lawsuits), they seem to use geolocation technology to identify what IP addresses belong to which neighborhood so they can target their defendants. At least one district court did not like this practice calling it too imprecise.
The predatory practice itself of filing copyright infringement lawsuits without intending to take each case to trial is what made me think that this whole thing was a settlement extortion scheme.
Why it is a Settlement Extortion Scheme when you are asked to Settle with Strike 3 Holdings LLC.
Strike 3 Holdings LLC is one of the biggest “copyright trolling” companies out there. It is a settlement mill that uses copyright infringement lawsuits to extort alleged infringers into settling for thousands of dollars or more, even though they may not have done anything wrong.
At its core, Strike 3 Holdings’ business model relies on receiving settlements: people paying out-of-court settlements without publicly admitting guilt or wrongdoing. They make it sound like they are offering you an easy way out when in fact, their goal is to extract as much money from you as possible with little to no transparency or accountability.
The company’s primary strategy involves filing the lawsuits with the next step always being to pressure defendants into accepting a large “nuisance” settlement in order to avoid having to hire attorneys and appear in court. This makes it extremely difficult for defendants who want to fight back, since a motion to quash would be denied by most judges because Strike 3 Holdings has figured out how to sue the defendants where the courts actually have jurisdiction over them.
Why Copyright Infringement Defense Law Firms Do Not File a Motion in Federal Court to Protect Their Clients in Litigation
Strike 3 Holdings, LLC passively encourages this “settlement mill” to continue. The relationship between them and the “torrent defense” attorneys seem to be that of a cottage industry. They file lawsuits against John Doe defendants in an effort to extort settlements from alleged copyright infringers, and the defense attorneys bring them their payday. If the recipient does not respond, Strike 3 uses the full force of the federal court system to throw them into litigation they cannot afford. Unfortunately, many would-be defendants who could fight back have declined to challenge these cases due to their cost and complexity—even when there are legitimate defenses available.
The conclusion of this article is going to be that it is up to the “gatekeepers” — the judges and the ISP companies to stop these lawsuits from continuing.
But for the accused defendant, you are not helpless. Rather, the best way to stop these lawsuits is by mounting an effective defense if you have one. This can include challenging the evidence presented by Strike 3 Holdings, such as asking where the PCAP file is that proves that you actually downloaded the entire video. Also, challenge them on their geolocation technology which has been deemed too inaccurate to identify specific individuals accused of downloading or distributing pornographic content. If you were out of town when they say you downloaded something, then prove that their evidence is faulty. And if you did not do the downloads, then make it clear that you did not actually infringe upon any copyrights.
Additionally, it may be possible to file a counterclaim for declaratory judgment of non-infringement in response to the lawsuit brought by Strike 3 Holdings. Other options include settling with them on your own terms (perhaps paying an amount you can afford) or having your attorney draft a “no settlement letter” on your behalf which could help protect you from future legal action taken by this company.
Who Can Stop the Strike 3 Holdings Subpoena to Kill the Bittorrent Infringement Lawsuits Once and For All?
The truth is that the federal court judges, magistrates can end these lawsuits if they really wanted to. There is more than sufficient case law to conclude that in almost EVERY Strike 3 Holdings LLC lawsuit, Strike 3 Holdings has failed to state a claim because “an IP address is not a person.” In almost every lawsuit, they claim that “somebody” assigned that IP address might have downloaded their copyrighted titles, but they never state that the account holder paying the ISP bill did it. Thus, it might be a jump in logic to state that the account holder is responsibility for something that might have happened on his internet account without his knowledge.
But federal court judges are not the only ones who can stop these lawsuits; ISPs can stop them as well. The only reason these cases continue once a federal court judge issues a subpoena is because they ISPs comply with that subpoena. However, they give no resistance to complying with that subpoena, and I suspect it is because they are being paid by Strike 3 Holdings, LLC for each and every IP address lookup. Why else would Comcast have set up an office in Morristown, NJ for the sole purpose of complying with subpoena requests unless they stood to profit from the subpoenas?
The only ISP that I know about that has made lawsuits difficult for plaintiff attorneys is AT&T. I heard once that while other companies like Comcast might charge $50 per IP address lookup (I have no way of confirming this or documenting this), I was told by a plaintiff attorney that AT&T charges $400/IP address lookup. Thus, by making it more expensive to sue defendants, they could stop the plaintiff attorneys from suing so many defendants and to focus only on those they believe actually did the downloading.
In sum, while an accused defendant can fight back against a lawsuit filed against him, really it is the job of the gatekeepers — the federal court judges and the internet service providers who have the real power to stop these lawsuits.
Am I letting the lawyers off the hook? Really, no. If a lawyer has a client who has a legitimate defense, then really it hurts the accused defendant when the lawyer suggests that they negotiate a settlement regardless of whether that defendant had the opportunity to litigate the claims against him. So a person who did not do the download should not settle, as a lawyer explains in his blog. But a lawyer who offers to negotiate the best settlement possible when that defendant could fight against the claims against them in this case? That lawyer is should be shamed as being part of the cottage industry and should be called a settlement mill (or a settlement factory, or whatever).
Factual Data:
Defenses to avoid paying settlement demands include stating that you did not infringe, challenging their evidence, and proving that you were out of town during the alleged downloads.
A counterclaim for declaratory judgment of non-infringement may be filed in response to a lawsuit brought by Strike 3 Holdings, LLC.
Geolocation technology used by Strike 3 Holdings to identify alleged infringers’ IP addresses has been deemed too imprecise to identify the particular individual who downloaded or distributed the content in question by at least one district court.
An attorney can help decide the best course of action in a particular case, including filing a motion to quash the subpoena, going on trial, or settling the case.
Settle by paying an amount the defendant can afford to pay, negotiation of a settlement covering all past claims of infringement for the adult titles allegedly downloaded with an attorney, and having an attorney draft a “no settlement letter” on your behalf.

[***UPDATE: LETTER TO READERS REFERENCING NEW STRIKE 3 HOLDINGS SETTLEMENTS ARTICLE – UPDATED ON JULY 31ST, 2024 (7/31)***]
Dear Cherished Reader,
Seeing that there was not a lot of accurate information on the “click here!” pay-per-click websites (those are the ones that say “Sponsored” on the Google Search Results, where these attorneys are paying close to $125-$150 per clickfor you to visit their website after searching for your Strike 3 Holdings LLC lawsuit), I took quite a bit of time to write a “monster” article all about Settlements — when to settle, when not to settle, etc.
The reason I wrote this “deep dive,” “in depth” settlement article is because those websites are looking to lure you in as a client, so they might tell you anything you want to hear only to surprise you later once you are a client.
I also would love to have you as a client (why else would I write these articles?), but I am not a volume-based law firm, (that’s an old article, I actually went back into the topic in the SETTLEMENT ARTICLE under the heading “SETTLEMENT FACTORIES – Why You Should Pass On Them,”) so I would rather educate you and have you become a competent client of mine knowing how to measure the risk of whatever approach we end up taking.
Once you become a client, you will also be able to estimate the outcome you will actually achieve if you chose to settle, and what outcome or outcomes you can achieve if you pursued other often VALID approaches on how to handle these Strike 3 Holdings LLC ISP subpoena cases.
If you have already set up a time to speak with me, then by all means, please take as much time as you would like in going through that article. I made it for you.]

NOTE: No attorney client relationship is established by sending this form, and while the attorney-client privilege (which keeps everything that you share confidential and private) attaches immediately when you contact me, I do not become your attorney until we sign a contract together. That being said, please do not state anything “incriminatin
