Congrats, Steve.

I wouldn't let the ink dry on that check before I cashed it.

I wish he would share his opinion here. He has given me great advice in the past.

CunningStunt 12-08-2010 10:43 PM

Great stuff Steve.

Let's see a pic of the cheque :)

xenigo 12-08-2010 10:47 PM

Why don't you post the amount? I want to know how "fat" this check actually is...

Steve Lightspeed

so are you making more from infringement cases yet than you are losing from pirates ?

It's good you monetizing people stealing from you.

We all know its not them paying because they knew they are guilty, it's them paying because they don't want to be exposed. Every professional you find is a win, every broke loser you find isn't going to pay up.

Congrats though, its good to see some people get caught and have to shell out bucks.

NaughtyRob 12-08-2010 11:35 PM

Congrats indeed. Someone is making money in porn SOMEhow and it might as well be you.

Hypothetical question:

If publicized, will these "settlements" with copyright infringing
torrent users be interrupted by legitimate users as never to be directed toward them?
Or, interpreted as the willingness of the porn industry to violate their legitimate users' privacy.

Perception often trumps reality ...

carzygirls 12-09-2010 12:45 AM

Wasn't the asking price $1700 to settle? Is that what's sitting in your hand, and if so, and a check, how do you know its good?

Agent 488 12-09-2010 12:50 AM

If and when it comes down to that, suits can be filed anonymously protecting the defendant's identity from what I understand. No need to publicize.

congrats to the winner

Jon Oso 12-09-2010 04:49 AM

At least it's working. Doesn't have to work 100% of the time but if people find out that other people are getting sued at least some of them will stop or never start.

I don't think the point is to collect on EVERY pirate, I think the point is to start deterring people who are or might pirate porn.

You should reinvest at least 50% into keywords for the different torrent sites so they gain more traffic, run them through your own domain so you already have their IP in advance and just shoot out the settlement letters as they click through.... :winkwink:

Roald 12-09-2010 09:53 AM

So is this big fat check from a single pirate or combined? And if combined what kind of number (as in people not money) are we looking at?

Just wondering.

Davy 12-09-2010 09:54 AM

How much did you get? And from what site?
Or do you not want to tell us so that you can milk the cow further?

troncarver 12-09-2010 09:54 AM

i really dont believe you until you take a pic of the check
