What Strike 3 Holdings, LLC Wants from You
Strike 3 Holdings, LLC wants to identify you by subpoenaing your current or former ISP based on the alleged infringing IP address. If they I.D. you, they plan to sue you for downloading their pornographic films via a peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing networks, such as LimeWire, KaZaa, uTorrent, and BitTorrent.
They Want Your Money
Strike 3 Holdings scare a lot of people. Your involvement with their copyrights could become public information if identified and sued. However, most people do not know that these cases are HIGHLY defensible. Sure, their company has recovered millions from ignored lawsuits (HINT: DON’T IGNORE THEM), but you do not have to be another person unfairly paying them with your life savings.
Who Is Strike 3 Holdings, LLC?
Strike 3 Holdings, LLC is an adult film production company that holds copyrights to a wide range of explicit movies. Some even believe that they are copyright trolls. With a reputation for vindicating their copyrights, Strike 3 Holdings has gained notoriety for filing numerous copyright infringement lawsuits against individuals accused of unauthorized Bit Torrent downloading and distributing their films.
Some of these films include:
- Blacked Raw
- Milfy
- Tushy Raw
- Deeper
- Vixen
- … And many other titles
Although we don’t necessarily agree with others calling them copyright trolls because they usually have legitimate claims for infringement of registered copyrighted works, the company’s use of lawsuits over these movies has come under scrutiny. Despite the controversy surrounding their practices, Strike 3 Holdings has been awarded high-dollar settlements by courts nationwide. Additionally, they have obtained finalized orders that compel internet service providers (ISPs) to identify individuals.

FAQs
What is a Subpoena Deuces Tecum?
A Subpoena Deuces Tecum (pronounced sub-peena doo-sez tee-koom) is a formal request from a court asking someone or a company to provide the evidence requested. In the case of Strike 3, they are subpoenaing your current or former ISP for information about your identity.
What Happens if Their Subpoena is Granted?
If their subpoena is successful, the following details about you could be released to Strike 3 Holdings attorneys:
- Name
- Address
- Account number
- Internet protocol (I.P.) address
- Any other legally obtainable info
What Are My Legal Options for Responding to the Subpoena?
You have every legal right to try and fight this copyright lawsuit on your own. HOWEVER (and that is a BIG, however), a 2019 study by the Administrative Office of the United States Courts found that pro se parties in federal civil cases won only 1.3% of their cases, compared to 31.3% for represented people. So, while there are no guarantees, this vast difference highlights a 2300% INCREASE in chances of statistically winning your case by hiring an experienced Strike 3 Holdings defense lawyer alone.
So, what are your options for fighting the subpoena you received? Here is a quick breakdown:
- Option A. Motion to Quash: A motion to quash is a formal response seeking to invalidate the subpoena. This option may be used if the subpoena is deemed illegal, without jurisdiction, outside geographic limits, overly burdensome, or requests privileged information. Shuttleworth Law P.C. can evaluate the grounds for filing a motion to quash and present counterarguments to the court.
- Option B. Motion for Protective Order: By filing a motion for a protective order, you can prevent the ISP from disclosing your information to Strike 3 Holdings. However, the lawsuit could still proceed against you as an anonymous “John Doe” defendant. Under Rule 26 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, you bear the burden of providing a valid reason for granting the protective order.
Protect your rights by enlisting the experience of a skilled Strike 3 Holdings defense lawyer. With the guidance of Brad V. Shuttleworth and his team at Shuttleworth Law P.C., you can effectively navigate the legal process and work toward a favorable resolution based on your chosen strategy. The key is to act fast on whatever strategy you decide to take.
What Are My Options Once Strike 3 Holdings Files a Lawsuit?
The reality is that Strike 3’s subpoenas are usually within the right federal district and geographical area. That leaves you with only TWO options to make sure that you’re protecting your rights:
- Option A. Negotiate a Settlement: Strike 3 Holdings is often willing to settle cases out of court. Settlement negotiations can be viable, especially if you face financial constraints or seek to avoid lengthy proceedings. An attorney can skillfully negotiate on your behalf to reach a reasonable settlement that does not violate your rights.
- Option B. Go to Trial: If you believe you have a strong defense against their copyright infringement allegations, you may choose to defend yourself in federal civil court. However, this option is often time-consuming and expensive and may not guarantee a favorable outcome. Shuttleworth Law P.C. will assess the merits of your defense and advise you on the likelihood of success in court. Regardless of your decision, you can be sure that your Strike 3 Holdings LLC defense attorney will stand in lockstep and be by your side.
Other serious considerations when going up against Strike 3 Holdings, LLC, include:
- Do not ignore it: Ignoring the subpoena or a lawsuit can have severe consequences, including liability for the lawsuit’s expenses and the opponent’s attorney’s fees. Therefore, acting promptly and seeking legal guidance without delay is essential.
- No self-incrimination: Without legal advice, responding to the subpoena yourself is strongly discouraged. Inadvertent admissions during a telephone call or errors in the response could jeopardize your defense and strengthen Strike 3 Holdings’ position.
- Keep your evidence: Maintain copies of all subpoena-related documents, including the subpoena itself, correspondence with Strike 3 Holdings, and any records of your internet usage. These documents may be crucial for establishing your defense or supporting fair use claims. Remember that If the case proceeds to court, the burden of proving innocence falls upon you.
Navigating a Strike 3 Holdings subpoena can be complex. Seeking legal counsel from an experienced and proven copyright defense attorney is paramount to safeguarding your rights, evaluating your options, and pursuing the most effective course of action. Timely action, careful documentation, and a resourceful defense are essential for supporting a favorable outcome.
