  • Our Little Secret

You can review the entire catalog of Strike 3 Holdings, LLC copyright filings via the U.S. Copyright Office’s website.

Did You Receive a Strike 3 Holdings, LLC Subpoena?

Strike 3 Holdings, LLC has filed waves of copyright infringement lawsuits throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey. These lawsuits are being brought against “John Doe” defendants who allegedly violated Strike 3’s copyrights via peer-to-peer (P2P) filing shares.

They identify the John Doe defendants through the use of subpoenas served on the internet service provider (ISP) that owns the internet protocol (IP) address associated with the allegedly infringing activity. These subpoenas require your current or former ISP to disclose your personal information.

The ISP will send the subscriber a letter notifying them of the Strike 3 lawsuit and subpoena request. If successful, Strike 3 then inserts your name in the civil court complaint in place of “John Doe.” Then, you will have to defend your case or settle out-of-court.

Is Strike 3 Holdings, LLC a “Copyright Troll?”

“Copyright troll” is a pejorative term referring to businesses that function solely for the purpose of profiting off of strategic litigation, often without bonafide ownership rights. In this case, Strike 3 Holdings was formed in 2015 with subsequent legal filings and actions that indicate the company is not a “copyright troll.”

However, Strike 3 is taking an aggressive approach to civil litigation regarding intellectual property infringement, which many regard as copyright trolling. Their advantage is that they hold legitimate and registered copyrights to their motion pictures. That means you should take any communications from them or your current or former ISP seriously since they are within their legal right to recuperate reasonable damages for their proven losses.

How Do You Handle a Strike 3 Holdings, LLC Subpoena?

If you received a subpoena from Strike 3, it is critical to remember that you are not alone during this time. There are thousands of people throughout Pennsylvania, South Jersey, and the United States receiving them. However, these civil suits are more than just a numbers game for the company, meaning it is important to take them seriously.

Here are three steps to take when handling one of their subpoenas:

Step 1. Try to Remain Calm

It is terrifying to receive a subpoena, let alone one from a pornographic film company that could associate your name with piracy. The first step is to remain calm and maintain your composure. Remember: you are not on the hook for anything (yet) and still have an opportunity to protect your privacy and your assets.

Step 2. Gather Your Documents

Retain all communications you receive from Strike 3 Holdings, ISPs, their lawyers, the courts, and anything other pertinent details. Do not start doing illegal things like destroying hard drives or modems. Gather your documents and things, and then proceed to “Step 3.”
