A Doe recently received a package in the mail from the Copyright Law Group (CLG), Troll Mike Meier. The cover letter was addressed to the Doe and was in reference to a “copyright infringement allegation.” It states that CLG is about to submit the attached complaint and would like to give the Doe the opportunity to resolve matter without litigation. It tells the Doe to please pass it to your attorney OR “Also, we will be happy to review the matter and evidence with you.” {I bet you would!} It gives the Doe seven days to respond to this threat.
The Doe was in a bit of a shock and didn’t understand what was going on. This was the first time he received anything of this nature and wondered what to do. He had never received any paperwork from their ISP stating his subscriber information was going to be released IAW any subpoena.
I have attached a scanned copy of the document. CLG_NoCase Sorry if the quality isn’t the best.
The complaint is a template/shell that Troll Meier uses for his Federal copyright infringement suits. It lists the Plaintiff as Digital Sin, Inc., with no case number, and no district court listed. There is no IP addresses listed in the complaint or the two attachments. There is also no date/time when the public IP address in question allegedly committed the infringement.
The two attachments to this complaint are a “verification” by Troll Meier to the accuracy of the information collected by Mr. Jon Nicolini, Copyright Enforcement Group (CEG) and the copyright registration for “My Little Panties 2.”
Has anyone heard of this type of settlement offer being sent to a Doe by true name? Is this possibly related to the Florida True Bill of Discovery cases? What is concerning is that the Does stated he didn’t get any subpoena package from his ISP concerning the release of his personal information. The ISP could have screwed up and I told the Doe to verify with the ISP legal department – has there been any DMCA take-down notices OR subpoenas against his public IP address?
If the ISP states they have not released his personal information, then the Troll is obtaining this information some other way. There are many different databases of information available to a paying customer/company, but a private database of public IP addresses correlated to name and physical address is not one I’m familiar with. Please post or email me any information you have on this.
Cheers
