What To Do When Sued By Strike 3 Holdings

The first thing to note is that this subpoena is real, and it is not a scam. You are being sued for copyright infringement in federal court or in Florida state court. Currently, you are known to the court as John Doe. If you ignored the subpoena, your internet service provider will likely release your name to Strike 3 Holdings LLC’s lawyers.

In almost all cases once Strike 3 Holdings has your name, they will amend the complaint name in the public court documents from ‘John Doe’ to your name. You will then be served with a court summons. You should never ignore a court summons. Many clients don’t mind losing their anonymity, but the downside to ignoring your Strike 3 Holdings subpoena and receiving a summons is that your options moving forward are limited and you’ll lose some of your negotiating power.

Sued By Strike 3 Holdings: How Did They Find me?

Each internet connection will have a unique IP address that is specific to that connection. By using various methods and technology, Strike 3 Holdings was allegedly able to track illegal downloads to their content to your IP address. Once Strike 3 Holdings has said IP address, they can do what is called a ‘reverse lookup’. This figures out who provided the internet to your home, such as Comcast, Cox, AT&T, Verizon, etc.

By knowing your IP address and your specific internet provider, the company files a federal lawsuit for copyright infringement and asks a judge for permission to send a subpoena to your internet provider. This subpoena is requesting your name and your address. The notice you received is from your internet provider letting you know your personal information is being requested. Before your internet provider releases this information, they send the subpoena notification to you.
