Your options to resolve a Strike 3 Holdings lawsuit

We recommend acting quickly so that you can still settle anonymously if you feel that option would be best for you. Our team has helped clients save thousands of dollars on their settlement fees in the past and is ready to help you reduce your amount if possible.
• File a motion to quash– Filing a motion to quash is an excellent legal strategy in certain limited circumstances. This option can be risky but can be great for certain defendants. We can discuss how this option could work for you during your free consultation.
• Fight your case in court– Just like a motion to quash, this option can be risky but can work very well for certain cases. If you choose to fight your case in court, our team will be behind you 100% and fight for you until your case is resolved completely.

A recent article by The National Law Review covered a win for a defendant in a Strike 3 Holdings lawsuit. Defendants learn of these cases through a letter from their ISP and a subpoena from Strike 3 Holdings accusing them of copyright infringement. Whether the defendant is guilty or not, these cases can lead to major consequences including steep fines.

A loss for Strike 3 Holdings

A recent defendant was successful in court against Strike 3 Holdings. The National Law Review states “Recently, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the decision of Judge Thomas S. Zilly of the District Court of the Western District of Washington in favor of defendant John Doe, a retired police officer accused of illegally downloading and distributing adult content produced by Strike 3 Holdings LLC. Agreeing with the district court’s finding that Strike 3 failed to prove its claim that the defendant pirated its adult films, the Court of Appeals upheld the lower court’s order requiring Strike 3 to pay defendant John Doe $47,777 in costs and fees.”

While this is good news for defendants in these cases, it has not slowed Strike 3 Holdings filings. Strike 3 has shown no signs of slowing down and defendants are certainly still at risk of being sued and facing serious consequences. If you or someone you know is a defendant in a Strike 3 Holdings case, contact an experienced attorney today.

These cases can lead to serious consequences including steep fines and settlement amounts. While defendants do have options in these cases, they can still leave defendants feeling scared and unsure of the future that lies ahead.

Strike 3 Holdings recent loss in Washington

Strike 3 Holdings recently filed an appeal in Seattle, Washington. The official document states:

“Strike 3 Holdings, LLC appeals the district court’s award of attorney’s fees in favor of John Doe on Doe’s counterclaim for non-infringement. Strike 3 argues that Doe lacked standing to pursue his counterclaim because Strike 3 voluntarily dismissed its copyright infringement claim against Doe and could not renew that claim in the future. Strike 3 also contends that the district court abused its discretion by awarding fees under the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 505, because the fee award did not further the Act’s essential goals. The district court had jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331, 1338(a). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.”

In these cases, “The party seeking declaratory relief must demonstrate (1) a concrete and imminent injury, (2) that is causally connected to the defendant’s actions, (3) which could be redressed by a favorable decision.” In this appeal, Strike 3 challenged the first two requirements that John Doe cannot demonstrate concrete and imminent injury. With the existence of pending litigation between Strike 3 and the defendant and a possibility of future litigation between the two, this “constitutes the type of injury that confers constitutional standing.”

Strike 3 had voluntarily dismissed it’s infringement claims against John Doe, but this meant Doe needed to decide whether to pursue his non-infringement counterclaim or surrender to the claim in the hope that Strike 3 would not bring further action based on Doe’s prior alleged infringement, “and And while Strike 3 enjoyed the “absolute right” to dismiss its infringement claim under Federal Rule Civil Procedure 41(a)(1), Am. Soccer Co., Inc. v. Score First Enters., 187 F.3d 1108, 1110 (9th Cir. 1999), it did not have the absolute right to choose the consequences of its without-prejudice dismissal.” John Doe’s fear of potential prosecution was concrete and imminent.  Additionally, Strike 3’s oral argument admitted that it was not clear whether the accused infringer was the father or son living in the household.

Ultimately the court ruled in Doe’s favor stating:

“The district court limited its analysis of the Fogerty factors to compensation and deterrence, ultimately concluding that compensating Doe for litigating a meritorious copyright defense sufficiently advanced the goals of the Copyright Act. We admit that the district court’s analysis of the Fogerty factors could have been more robust as it merely considered the factors it deemed relevant and applied them to this case. But the factors are, by definition, non-exclusive, Fogerty, 510 U.S. at 534 n.19, and the district court was not required to discuss each one in depth. Thus, we are not left with “a definite and firm conviction” that the district court erred. Wall Data Inc. v. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Dept., 447 F.3d 769, 787 (9th Cir. 2006).”
