Why have I received this?

Essentially, you are being sued for illegally streaming a Pay-Per-View event at your commercial establishment.

You have either:

  • Received a letter from an attorney hired by Innovative Sports Management, Inc. d/b/a Integrated Sports Media
  • Received a summons and lawsuit complaint

Either way, this is a federal copyright infringement claim alleging that your commercial venue (such as a restaurant or bar) illegally streamed a Pay-Per-View event such as “Pre-Copa America 2019: El Salvador vs. Haiti” usually by using a non-commercial (i.e. residential) satellite subscription, a pirate/black box, or a satellite subscription hack.

Is it real?

Yes, and ignoring your lawsuit will reduce your options to fight it.

If you are contacted by the attorney hired by the Pay-Per-View company prior to receiving a summons, there is a chance we can help you resolve your case out of court. The option to settle outside of court is usually less expensive.

Your first notice of the lawsuit will likely be a letter from an attorney hired by Innovative Sports Management, Inc. d/b/a Integrated Sports Media or being served a summons and lawsuit complaint.

What proof do they have that I did this?

From our experience with previous cases, an investigator hired by the company personally visits the bar or restaurant to observe and/or videotape the alleged illegal broadcasting of the Pay-Per-View event.

This typically leads to the filing of the complaint, which usually includes documentation of what they witnessed that night, such as photos they took of the Pay-Per-View fight playing in your bar or restaurant.

Can I get out of it?

Once you’ve received a letter from an attorney and/or have been served a summons and lawsuit complaint, there are a couple options available:

  • Resolve outside of court. This option is only available if you have not received a summons and lawsuit complaint.
  • Fight your lawsuit in court. We are experienced litigators who fight back vigorously on your behalf.

Fewer options will be available to you the longer you wait.

We’ve helped thousands of clients across the US resolve their cases and can help you figure out the best course of action for you.

How much will it cost?
  • For cases resolved outside of court, we can offer a flat fee for a settlement out of court as long as you have not been served with a summons and complaint.
  • Once you have a summons and complaint, you must immediately prepare to file defensive paperwork in court, although there is some chance you may be able to settle the case quickly before your defense papers are due to be filed with the court. We may be able to offer a flat fee for a set amount of work that may be needed to resolve the case.
  • If you choose to fight in court, you case may require a full-on legal defense. We will charge an hourly rate and can walk you through what to expect during our free consultation.
What happens if I ignore Innovative Sports Management, Inc. d/b/a Integrated Sports Media?

If you choose to ignore the summons and complaint you may get a default judgment against you.

In the past, we’ seen default judgments in the area of $15,000- more than $25,000. With our knowledge and experience in these types of cases, we can typically help protect businesses and can often negotiate lower settlements on your behalf.

We will explain what you can expect in legal fees once we know more about your specific case, whether it’s a flat fee or an hourly rate for defense in court.

Hiring Antonelli Law Is No More Expensive than Hiring a Local Attorney in Your State

Antonelli Law’s numerous federal court admissions, local counsel affiliations, and the nature of federal lawsuits allow us to effectively and cost-consciously represent you in your copyright infringement defense, no matter which state you live in – and no more expensively than a local attorney.

We are able to represent you in your federal case without being more expensive or more difficult to hire than hiring a local attorney because federal courts require attorneys to file their papers electronically, and often conduct hearings by telephone. This makes frequent trips to the courthouse unnecessary. Also, we do not charge for airline flights or flying travel charges. Clients pay only for the normal travel time to the courthouse any local attorney would charge.

Finally, we have affiliated local counsel in many states who have earned our trust and can appear in court on an expedited basis when necessary. We will of course be in court personally when necessary such as non-routine hearings or a trial.

We offer a reasonable Flat Fee for motions to quash, and helping you settle and remain anonymous in many cases; and reasonable fees for defending you if you are named as a defendant in a copyright infringement lawsuit such as the LHF Productions lawsuit.
