BitTorrent file-sharing case could soon have more than 23,000 defendants
In March, Judge Robert Wilkins from the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia allowed Nu Image, a production company and the applicant in question to begin the search for contact information, including full name and address on IP addresses already collected.
These IP addresses, said Nu Image at the time, are people who have pirated copies of "The Expendables" last year, using the BitTorrent protocol. Sylvester Stallone directed and starred in the film. Nu Image, based in LA, she was involved in production.
Last week, Nu Image has made a new document, comprising over 23,000 IP addresses of people who would have pirated movie. If people use these IP addresses will be cited as part of the file, it would become the largest BitTorrent process so far.
The action, instituted earlier this year, is one of many that have been or are underway in the United States on alleged copyright violations.
For example, Lime Wire, a former file-sharing space was shot down last year after a long battle in court with the Recording Industry Association in America. The jury is to determine the amounts of money that Mark Gordon, founder of Lime Wire will pay claims. The jury may set a fine of between 7 million and 1.4 billion dollars.
If Not Image may or not to use the personal information it has collected from thousands of IP addresses will be subject to debate. Last week, U.S. Judge District Court, Harold Baker, decided in another case that, based on IP addresses can not properly identify an individual. Baker pointed out that a person can easily use another person's internet connection to engage in illegal activities. Point of view is perfectly grounded. Last month, federal agents broke into a house in Buffalo, NY, accusing the owner of the downloading of child pornography, and computers confiscated. Three days later, they have returned the equipment, recognizing his innocence. A neighbor of 25 years old was arrested immediately afterwards, the alleged use of Wi-Fi's previously investigated person in order donwloadarii pornographic materials with children.
Regardless of this, Nu Image continues its efforts. According to Wired, which first reported this news, over 23,000 people will soon be notified of the call to court for downloading copies of "The Expendables."
Applicant's lawyer did not respond immediately to request comment on CNET.
