23,322 Bittorrent users are being sued for downloading the worst movie...
TMRNetShark:
in Hollywood history.... Ok, maybe not that bad... but like a bad version of Starsky and Hutch...
Apparently 23,322 Bittorrent users who downloaded the movie "The Expendables" are all getting settlement papers in the next few weeks. Originally was suppose to be 6,500 people, but the list grew to 23,000 quite fast. The law firm that is doing this is hoping for an extortion method to how they are going to 'reap' the 'grievances' of the money lost from the Bittorrent'ers. "If you pay us $2,000, we'll make this lawsuit go away. If you don't, we can and will try to sue you for $150,000." Harsh, right? Like pure extortion.... and it's brilliant! If I was one of those lawyers! I guess, this new really doesn't effect me seeing as how... hehe... I don't watch terrible movies. I mean seriously guys... I saw that film in movie theater and I couldn't understand a fucking thing anyone said in that movie!
Anyways... sources? I didn't feel the need to find them... I'm sure you can find it at one or more popular torrent news sites.
Oh yeah, they have the list of all the IP addresses that are getting settlement letters (Already checked, but mine isn't on there!).

Damn, that's harsh.
Glad I didn't download that movie
I can't say this sets a precedent for more lawsuits, because stuff like this has always been going on.

On this level though? They can potentially make $35 million.

No matter to what extent they took this, it's fundamentally the same thing that's been going on for ages :(

that's why you never use bittorrent for american movies. use sites like warezbb that post rapidshare type links.
