The Oron surfers have gone to a new site. So as a win against piracy it's nothing much.

CF got what they wanted to begin with, a settlement. Who pays their lawyers fees is yet to be decided according to the ruling today.

They have put people on notice to not fuck them or they will fuck you back harder. At the moment this is the best route for individual companies.

Few do, still if you listened to some of the talk here it's surprising they haven't wrapped some knuckles.

it would be nice if somebody with deep pockets and the conviction to see one of these lawsuits through to the end is all I'm saying. Steve Lightspeed has taken a ton of flack for doing the same thing it appears Corbin Fisher is doing - if they really thought Oron was doing something illegal they wouldn't settle, the damages would be huge if they won.

Today the best route is the one Steve is doing, buy going to a higher level.
Sue to get the IP's. Send out letters asking for an admission and advising they get a lawyer or asking for the reason it wasn't them and then investigating the reason. It it turns out to be BS, see who the IP holder is, is he worth suing and if so hand serving him with a writ and saying if they can check the computer and find nothing, the writ will be torn up.
If they refuse access, log the refusal, if pirated material is found tell them to get a lawyer. Don't ask for settlement at any time. That's blackmail, let them open that door. Different countries doing this is different countries would make it world wide.
There is another option, sit back and wait for the tide to turn, while it creeps up around your waist.
