In the sort of mass litigation previously seen only enacted against European movie downloaders, more than 20,000 alleged movie torrent downloaders have been sued for copyright infringement in Washington D.C. courts. According to the report on The Hollywood Reporter, another lawsuit against 30,000 more people is likely imminent.
The suits are being brought about by US Copyright Group, who describe themselves as :
…a company owned by intellectual property lawyers that has one singular mission and focus: to stop movie copyright infringement and make illegal downloaders pay damages for the content they have stolen. From Washington D.C. to Los Angeles, technology companies and a conglomeration intellectual property law firms work hand-in-hand with each other to end unlawful downloading and illegal file-sharing of films.
