Suggestions After Being Notified About Your Strike 3 Holdings LLC Lawsuit

Below are suggestions after reviewing the notification you’ve received from your internet service provider. The first thing to note is not to sign anything. For any lawsuit, you should not sign paperwork without a full understanding of what you are signing and or agreeing to. If you have received something in the mail from Strike 3 Holdings requesting your signature, do not sign anything until you have had the chance to consult with an attorney that is representing you. This is so you are aware of the implication of what you are signing.

Secondly, do not delete anything. Often, many defendants assume that if they begin to delete the content from their devices, it will help get rid of any evidence that they have downloaded Strike 3 Holding content. However, this is not the case. In fact, if you delete content it can end up making your penalties worse and may appear as an admission of guilt.

Third, contact an experienced internet service provider subpoena defense attorney. Once you have noted that you are being sued, you may want to contact someone who can properly guide you through the next steps. The attorneys at our practice, Antonelli Law, are highly experienced with copyright infringement and can help you with your lawsuit like those filed by Strike 3 Holdings. We are happy to discuss your unique case and review the options available to you. Antonelli Law can help you come up with a plan of what to do next and provide answers to any of the inquiries or concerns you may have.

Whether you’re being sued in Federal Court or in Florida State Court, we can help you.

What Are My Options If Being Sued By Strike 3 Holdings LLC?

Whether or not you have downloaded content from the company, you are still going to be sued. Currently, Strike 3 Holdings thinks you have downloaded their content and or have evidence for copyright infringement, and the court believes they have enough evidence for your case to proceed.

At this point, you now have three possible options:

  • Settle your unique case out of court
  • File a Motion to Quash
  • Fight back in court

If you choose to settle, having an attorney experienced in these types of cases may help you negotiate a lower Strike 3 Holdings settlement amount. We aggressively negotiate settlement amounts for our clients and will fight for you until your case is resolved entirely.

How Much Will Settling With Strike 3 Holdings LLC Cost?

This is hard to pinpoint as every case will be entirely different when it comes to settling the case. Most cases are resolved out of court, and we offer a reasonable flat fee for motions to quash or for helping you settle and remain anonymous in many cases.

Antonelli Law will negotiate the best settlement possible on your behalf. We have successfully worked to negotiate anonymous elements that were lower than the original amount demanded. We will work to fight to get the best financial outcome for you.

Since every case is different, it will be hard to gauge the exact number of movies over which a client will get sued. We have seen cases where the defendant has downloaded over 240 films while others downloaded around 20.

Typically, Strike 3 Holdings requests roughly $750 per movie downloaded. However, the maximum amount requested by Strike 3 tends to be about $50,000.

A negotiated settlement amount varies and will depend on several factors. The average settlements tend to range from under $100 per movie to around $500 per movie. We have also been able to prove financial hardship and get a settlement down to a 250 total. This shows how it truly is case-specific.

When we represent you, we take a look at your case from every angle and then aggressively negotiate on your behalf. Once we know the specifics of your case, we can give you a more specific assessment and help set your expectations.

My Strike 3 Holdings Lawsuit Is Real, What Should I Do?

Do not sign anything, do not delete anything, and contact an experienced internet service provider subpoena defense attorney.

Why you shouldn’t sign anything:

  • With any lawsuit, you should not sign paperwork without fully understanding what you are signing. If you receive something in the mail from the Strike 3 Holdings LLC company requesting your signature, do not sign it. You should wait to sign it until you have had the chance to consult with an attorney that is representing you. This is so you understand the implication of what you are signing.

Why you should not delete anything:

  • Oftentimes, many defendants assume that if they have deleted the content from their personal devices, it can help get rid of any evidence that they have downloaded from the company. However, this is not the case. If you do delete the content, it can end up making your penalties worse and appear as an admission of guilt.

Why you should contact an experienced internet service provider subpoena defense attorney:

  • Once you are sure you are being sued, contacting someone who can guide you through the next steps in your case will be helpful. The attorneys at Antonelli Law are highly experienced with copyright infringement lawsuits like those filed by Strike 3 Holdings.

At Antonelli Law, we can discuss your specific case, go through your options, and help you come up with a plan of what to do next.

Filing A Motion To Quash For Your Strike 3 Holdings Lawsuit

When filing a motion to quash, it is essentially telling the court that the Complaint is so deficient that it cannot be repaired. This is because of either jurisdictional or technical reasons.

At Antonelli Law, we believe a motion to quash can work in certain limited circumstances, but it’s important to note that it is a risk.

While this does seem the best option on the surface, even if you win the motion to quash the subpoena, the movie company will likely have the right to file an amended lawsuit against you.

If they do file an amended lawsuit, a second motion to quash may need to be filed. The judge may or may not throw the case out of court, and it is possible that Strike 3 Holdings LLC may appeal the decision to the appellate court. The circumstances of each case will be unique. Antonelli Law has been successful with multiple motions to quash and can provide expert advice on your case.

Pros Of Filing A Motion To Quash: Strike 3 Holdings Lawsuit

There are several pros to filing a motion to quash. This can include:

  • the case is being thrown out for various/multiple reasons
  • the movie company could be exposed if it was engaged in some kind of technical chicanery or unethical practices, and the case could fall apart

Cons Of Filing A Motion To Quash: Strike 3 Holdings Lawsuit

There are several cons to filing a motion to quash. This can include:

  • that you still may be sued
  • that you may lose your anonymity if the motion is denied

Why Am I Getting Sued By Strike 3 Holdings LLC?

Did you receive a notice by Strike 3 Holdings LLC, which is accusing you of illegally downloading their content from one of their subscription sites? If so, it is likely you are being sued for copyright infringement. Strike 3 Holdings has several subscription sites for their adult films/adult content.

The notice that you have received from your internet service provider is to notify you that Strike 3 Holdings is looking to obtain your personal information, such as your full name and address, so that they can sue for copyright infringement.

If you have just received your notice, you are still likely anonymous. Strike 3 Holdings LLC does not yet know who you are. While you are still anonymous to the LLC, you will have several options available to you on how you want to handle your case. The longer one waits, the fewer options one will have and you could lose some of the negotiating power.

What Are The Pros Of Settling with Strike 3 Holdings

Some of the pros of settling with the company may include:

  • your case being resolved quickly
  • your case being resolved anonymously from public records
  • ensuring that you as a person, not just your IP address, are released so you cant be sued again for other supposed download activity that has happened prior to your settlement

What Are The Cons Of Settling with Strike 3 Holdings

Some cons may include:

  • Having to pay a settlement fee regardless of whether or not you feel you should have to

How Much Will Settling With Strike 3 Holdings Cost?

Most cases are resolved out of court. Antonelli Law offers a reasonable Flate Fee for motions to quash or help you settle and remain anonymous depending on your specific case.

We will work to negotiate the best possible settlement amount on your behalf, as we have successfully negotiated anonymous settlements that were lower than the original amount demanded by the movie company, and will fight to get the best possible outcome.

Each case will be different, therefore it hard to pinpoint the exact amount of movies a person may get sued over. We have seen cases where the defendant has downloaded 240 movies and others where the defendant downloaded around 20.

Usually, the LLC requests around $750 per movie downloaded, however, the maximum amount requested by Strike 3 tends to be about $50,000.

What’s a typical negotiated settlement amount for Strike 3 Holdings LLC Lawsuit

When Antonelli negotiates for its clients, the settlement amount varies greatly and depends on many factors.

Average settlements may tend to range from under $100/movie to approximately $500/movie. We’ve also been able to prove financial hardship and get a settlement all the way down to $250 total, so you can see that it really is case-specific.

When the Antonelli Law Firm represents you, we will take a look at your case from every angle and then aggressively negotiate on your behalf. Once we know the specifics of your case, we can give you a more specific assessment and help set your expectations.
