    Strike 3 Holdings continues its highly strategic approach, systematically targeting federal districts with large metropolitan areas, higher disposable incomes, and robust internet connectivity, such as New York, California, Illinois, and Massachusetts. This likely reflects expectations of quicker and more lucrative settlements due to defendants’ financial resources and heightened reputational risks.

    Notably, recent filings in the Northern District of California suggest Strike 3 may be testing judicial responses there, despite historical judicial skepticism in that jurisdiction. This cautious exploration contrasts sharply with their ongoing avoidance of federal districts characterized by lower average incomes and rural demographics, highlighting their financial incentive-driven litigation strategy.

    Protect Yourself:

    • Don’t ignore notices from ISPs or legal communications.
    • VPN
    • Spread awareness, about lawsuits
    • Dont be embrassed about BBC, everyone is sexual being, even the strike 3 attorneys and thier peverted management and thier unrealistic pornorgraphy, they are counting on embarassment and the human need for sexual gratification by using federal courts to extract more money from YOU than any substantial porn consumer
    • Seek specialized legal advice immediately upon receiving a notice or subpoena.
    • Understand your legal rights and options—settlement isn’t the only path available.

    Stay vigilant, safeguard your privacy, and visit Strike3Litigation.org for resources and guidance.

    Legal Actions and Implications

    Strike 3 Holdings typically uses the following legal strategy:

    1. Subpoena to ISPs: The company requests early discovery to subpoena internet service providers (ISPs) to obtain subscribers’ personal details linked to specific IP addresses.
    2. Settlement Demand: Once identifying details are obtained, Strike 3 often sends settlement letters demanding payments, typically ranging from hundreds to several thousand dollars, to avoid litigation.
    3. Litigation: If the recipient refuses to settle, Strike 3 Holdings may pursue litigation.

    Concerns and Challenges

    IP address-based tracking is inherently fallible. Courts have recognized that IP addresses can easily be spoofed, misused by third parties, or inaccurately tracked, raising concerns about privacy and wrongful accusations. These concerns have been highlighted in cases such as:

    • Malibu Media, LLC v. Doe, where courts criticized mass copyright lawsuits based on IP.
    • Cobbler Nevada, LLC v. Gonzales, where the Ninth Circuit Court emphasized that identifying an IP subscriber does not establish liability.

    Speculation: Why Does Strike 3 Avoid the Northern District of California?

    It is noteworthy that despite extensive litigation elsewhere, Strike 3 Holdings appears to intentionally avoid filing lawsuits in the Northern District of California. The likely reason is that the Northern District has historically been less favorable to mass copyright infringement suits based solely on IP address evidence. Notably, judges in this jurisdiction have set higher evidentiary standards and are more likely to reject early discovery subpoenas, often citing privacy concerns and questioning the reliability of IP tracking methods. Landmark cases such as Cobbler Nevada, LLC v. Gonzales originated here, where judges have clearly established that associating infringement with a subscriber requires significantly more evidence than merely identifying an IP address. Consequently, Strike 3 Holdings seems to steer clear of this jurisdiction to avoid potential setbacks.

    Protecting Yourself

    If you receive a notification from your ISP or a settlement letter from Strike 3 Holdings:

    • Do NOT ignore it.
    • Consider consulting an attorney specialized in copyright litigation.
    • Understand that settlement is not your only option; many cases can be effectively contested.
    • VPN VPN VPN, USE ONE WITHOUT LOGS AND BEYOND THE JURISDICTION OF AMERICAN COURTS. BE as secretative as the strike 3 lawyers and management

    Final Thoughts

    These recent filings indicate Strike 3 Holdings continues its aggressive litigation strategy against individuals allegedly involved in torrenting copyrighted content. Staying informed, practicing good digital security, and understanding your legal rights remain essential.

    Stay vigilant and informed about your digital rights.

  • Is Strike 3 Holdings Ready for a Showdown with Meta?

    https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/07/meta-pirated-and-seeded-porn-for-years-to-train-ai-lawsuit-says/

    Will Federal Courts Let Strike 3 Holdings Use Its “Settlement Business Model” Against Meta?

    Over the last decade, Strike 3 Holdings, LLC has gained notoriety for mass litigation targeting individuals accused of downloading its adult films via BitTorrent. Its playbook—filing anonymous lawsuits, demanding identifying subpoenas, and pressuring quick settlements—has drawn criticism as a “copyright troll” business model.

    But now, Strike 3 has taken its approach a colossal step further: filing a federal lawsuit against Meta Platforms, Inc., alleging large-scale corporate infringement. The big question: Will federal courts allow Strike 3 to deploy the same model against a tech giant with deep pockets and serious legal firepower?

    Current Lawsuit Against Meta

    On July 23, 2025, Strike 3 and Counterlife Media filed suit in the Northern District of California (Case No. 4:25‑cv‑06213), suing Meta for copyright infringement involving at least 2,396 of its films, seeking up to $359 million in statutory damages

    The complaint alleges Meta’s corporate and “off‑infra” IP addresses—potentially including datacenter-hosted servers and an employee’s home IP—were used to seed pirated content via BitTorrent, allegedly to train AI models such as Meta Movie Gen and LLaMA

    Strike 3 claims it used proprietary tools like VXN Scan and MaxMind IP lookup to identify at least 47 corporate IP addresses involved in repeated infringing behavior, consistent with patterns of automated, non‑human consumption for AI training

    The suit also alleges Meta intentionally concealed torrenting by using external IPs and that employees knowingly participated, suggesting both direct and secondary infringement liability

    Court Response & Legal Risk

    1. From Individuals to Mega-Corporations

    Strike 3’s traditional litigation model targets individuals who lack legal resources and may settle quickly. Against Meta, however:

    • Meta is likely to vigorously defend, challenging the evidence, methodology of VXN Scan, and IP attribution reliability.
    • The stakes are enormously higher for Meta—both financially and reputationally.
    2. Judicial Scrutiny of Evidence

    Federal courts have already criticized Strike 3’s evidentiary process in individual cases, such as in Cobbler Nevada, LLC v. Gonzalez (2018), where speculative BitTorrent links were deemed insufficient for infringement claims. Against Meta, courts may demand:

    • Concrete affiliation between infringing IPs and Meta authority/control.
    • Proof that Meta directed or knew of the seeding activity.
    3. Risk for Strike 3: Backfire Potential
    • If courts find the evidence is shaky, Strike 3 may face the risk of losing or being sanctioned.
    • Meta could expose Strike 3’s internal practices and track record in court, undermining its broader settlement-only strategy.

    Will Settlement Be an Option?

    Considering Meta’s resources, litigation history, and public scrutiny over AI and copyright issues:

    • Meta is unlikely to settle quietly.
    • Settlement may only become feasible after extensive discovery, depositions, or adverse rulings.
    • Settlement with an individual subscriber costs thousands; with Meta, the stakes are orders of magnitude higher, and the leverage lies with Meta.

    Broader Implications and Judicial Outlook

    Courts may view this case as a test of whether copyright trolls get free rein when targeting tech corporations. If judges curtail subpoenas or demand rigorous proof before allowing electronic discovery of user data—even corporate data stores—it could chill Strike 3’s entire strategy. This dispute could set precedents for how AI and data training practices are litigated—and how IP rights intersect with machine learning.

    SAMPLE OPPOSITION GENERATED BY AI (NOT LEGAL ADVICE)

    DEFENDANT JOHN DOE’S OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR EARLY DISCOVERY TO IDENTIFY ISP SUBSCRIBER

    Defendant John Doe, proceeding anonymously and pro se, submits this opposition to Plaintiff Strike 3 Holdings, LLC’s (“Strike 3”) motion seeking early discovery to identify the subscriber associated with the IP address cited in their complaint. For the reasons outlined below, Plaintiff’s motion should be denied.

    INTRODUCTION

    Plaintiff seeks expedited discovery from third-party Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to unmask the subscriber linked to an IP address allegedly involved in copyright infringement. Courts across the United States have expressed significant concerns regarding the accuracy and fairness of such early discovery requests, especially in cases involving adult content, where potential embarrassment and harm to wrongly accused defendants is severe. The inherent unreliability of IP address tracking, serious privacy issues, and risk of misidentification necessitate denial of Plaintiff’s motion.

    ARGUMENT

    I. PLAINTIFF FAILS TO MEET THE REQUIRED GOOD CAUSE STANDARD

    Under Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(d), early discovery is permitted only upon demonstration of “good cause.” See Malibu Media, LLC v. John Does 1-11, 2013 WL 1504927 (D.N.J. 2013). Plaintiff must demonstrate: (1) a concrete showing of a prima facie claim, (2) specificity of discovery request, (3) absence of alternative methods, (4) necessity of information for litigation progression, and (5) minimal intrusion. Plaintiff here fails particularly on reliability of IP identification and potential intrusion on subscriber privacy.

    II. IP ADDRESSES DO NOT RELIABLY IDENTIFY THE INFRINGER

    Plaintiff’s identification relies entirely on an IP address. Numerous courts have recognized that an IP address alone does not reliably identify the individual who committed alleged infringement. An IP address only identifies a router, not a person. See Malibu Media, LLC v. Tsanko, 2013 WL 6230482 (D.N.J. 2013) (recognizing an IP address alone is insufficient to identify infringer).

    Courts have acknowledged the fallibility of such evidence:

    • Cobbler Nevada, LLC v. Gonzalez, 901 F.3d 1142, 1146 (9th Cir. 2018), (finding “an IP address alone cannot establish infringement”).
    • Malibu Media, LLC v. Doe, 82 F. Supp. 3d 650, 654 (E.D. Pa. 2015), (“The IP subscriber is not necessarily the infringer.”)

    Additionally, widely-used residential Wi-Fi networks are frequently unsecured, or minimally secured, and can be accessed by multiple people simultaneously—neighbors, guests, or unauthorized intruders—rendering IP-based identifications speculative and unreliable.

    III. PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST VIOLATES PRIVACY RIGHTS AND CREATES UNDUE BURDEN

    The Court must balance Plaintiff’s interests against the significant privacy interests and potential embarrassment or reputational harm to innocent parties. See Digital Sin, Inc. v. Does 1-176, 279 F.R.D. 239, 242 (S.D.N.Y. 2012) (highlighting the “very real risk that defendants might be falsely identified”). Strike 3 Holdings, LLC’s aggressive litigation tactics are widely documented and often result in innocent subscribers becoming targets of costly, intrusive, and embarrassing litigation.

    Notably:

    • Strike 3 Holdings, LLC v. Doe, 351 F. Supp. 3d 160 (D.D.C. 2018), cautioned about “potential for abuse and coercion” inherent in cases involving adult content.
    • Malibu Media, LLC v. Doe, 2014 WL 229295 (D. Md. 2014), emphasized harm to defendants due to public association with adult content.

    IV. ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF INVESTIGATION EXIST

    Plaintiff has other investigative tools available that do not infringe on subscriber privacy. This includes pursuing DMCA takedown notices, digital watermarking, direct infringement notices to subscribers, or using advanced forensic techniques which could narrow the infringer’s identification without exposing the subscriber prematurely.

    V. PLAINTIFF’S MOTION PRESENTS SIGNIFICANT RISK OF EXTORTIVE LITIGATION

    Courts routinely recognize that early subscriber identification risks facilitating “copyright trolling”—suing subscribers not to litigate claims to judgment, but to leverage settlements from intimidated individuals eager to avoid public embarrassment. See Third Degree Films v. Doe, 2013 WL 5376273 (D.N.J. 2013) (warning of lawsuits used as vehicles for coercive settlements).

    VI. PLAINTIFF HAS PROVIDED INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION TO JUSTIFY THE NEED FOR EXPEDITED DISCOVERY

    Plaintiff has not sufficiently demonstrated why early discovery is necessary or why traditional litigation processes and timelines are inadequate. Courts have required plaintiffs to exhaust less intrusive methods before seeking third-party discovery from ISPs. Strike 3 has shown no such diligence or necessity.

    CONCLUSION

    The court should deny Plaintiff’s motion for early discovery, as the substantial risks and harm clearly outweigh any benefits derived from early identification of the subscriber. Allowing such intrusive discovery based solely on unreliable IP evidence undermines fundamental privacy protections and procedural fairness.

    WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that this Court deny Plaintiff’s motion.

    Respectfully submitted,

    JOHN DOE Pro Se Defendant

    THE MAIN ISSUE WITH THIS IS THAT THE SUBSCRIBER IS NOT AWARE OF THE MOTION UNTIL AFTER IT IS APPROVED… IF YOU LUCKY ENOUGH TO DISCOVER LITIGATION EARLY ON THEN OPPOSE IT

  • How does Strike 3 Holdings compel the ISP to give your private information(Verizon)

    There is some speculation that in fact the ISP collects a fee for each request of user information the court compels them to provide strike 3 Holdings. That kinda makes sense right! The ISP gets a fee, strike 3 gets their lawsuit defendant/victim/target; all is happy. The ISP gets to throw their hands up and say “its not us, the court is forcing us provide this”. There is no incentive for them to quash these request, furthermore because many ISPs dont have any regional competition and internet access use is an essential utility, they dont really worry about a consumer running to a more privacy minded provider. Take a Look at this older with Malibu Media( a close cousin to strike 3 Holdings) document:

The troll wanna flex their legal muscle beyond bullshit copy past filings and obviously the defendant Doe is not responding to the motion and pleadings BS. Once Doe is converts to a real person, this is when Strike 3 Holdings will attempt to hold a person in default. This what people fear the most, thier name being “googled”(We all google names of ppl) and then being discriminated and against lost out on opputyunities etc. If you have a common name then i would guess this fear would be much less.
