Strike 3 Holdings LLC filed roughly 36 copyright infringement lawsuits in federal courts (US District Courts) across the US in the past 30 days (this time last year, they were filing on average 111 cases each month). They appear to have focused their lawsuits on the US District Courts in the states of California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, New York, and Pennsylvania. As often as it is useful, I will be listing the Strike Holdings cases which are filed in each state.
Strike 3 Holdings LLC is a well known copyright troll, and our TorrentLawyer.com blog (owned by the Cashman Law Firm PLLC) has written about them extensively. I’m not sure I love the idea of doing it this way, but I would like to list in one page the list of Strike 3 Holdings LLC cases filed in each state. I plan on repeating this process each month (or if too cumbersome, once every three months). I also ask that other attorneys DO NOT COPY THIS LIST, AS I HAVE COMPILED THIS LIST MYSELF AT MY OWN EXPENSE.
What is a Copyright Troll?
A “copyright troll” is an entity — usually a production studio, a film or movie studio (e.g., WWE Studios), or some other copyright holder — which decides that it is more profitable to sue downloaders rather than to adhere to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) rules in attempting to remove bittorrent links which allow these end users to unlawfully access their copyrighted titles.

It is now 2/10/2020, and I am going “back in time” to write this article, and I won’t hide why. Many of you from the December 2019 lawsuits are only now receiving ISP subpoena notification letters, and I wanted to be sure that as soon as you type in your case, at least something relevant will show up that will point you to where you can get help.
Other “Strike 3 Holdings by month” articles that I have written thus far are for the MARCH 2019, and APRIL 2019 (until now, there was not a need to write an update).
Early-to-Mid-2019, there was a “shake up” of attorneys who were authorized to represent Strike 3 Holdings. You could read about that drama here in the article entitled, “Why Incorrect Attorneys Are Listed on Strike 3 Holdings LLC Case Dockets,” published on 5/3/2019.
More recently, Strike 3 Holdings, LLC has devised a way to unmask the identities of HUNDREDS (perhaps thousands) of defendants without needing to sue each defendant in Federal Court. They have done this by exploiting the Florida “Pure Bill of Discovery” laws, and thus far, the judges are allowing them to proceed. [Update: this continued to happen in an article I wrote in 07-2020 about their cases.]
Without going into too much detail, if you are involved in a Miami-Dade Florida state-based lawsuit, there is much that you will need to understand, as these cases differ from the copyright infringement lawsuits which are filed in federal courts.
- INITIAL ARTICLE EXPLAINING HOW THEY ARE USING THE STATE COURTS TO UNMASK DEFENDANTS’ IDENTITIES.
- FOLLOW-UP ARTICLE EXPOSING THE ATTORNEYS BEHIND THE SCHEME
- RECENT ARTICLE EXPLAINING HOW DEFENSE ATTORNEYS ARE LURING DEFENDANTS IN WITH A “BAIT AND SWITCH” WHICH ENDS UP FORCING THEM TO SETTLE OR BE SUED.
