STRIKE 3 HOLDINGS LAWSUITS – JUST THE FACTS.

Strike 3 Holdings ISP Subpoena Video on YouTube

JUST WALK ME THROUGH THIS.

Strike 3 Holdings, LLC actually sent me a frightening ISP subpoena letter. Can you advise me on how to best avert this colossal crisis before the deadline?

WALKTHROUGH (JOHN DOE): I WAS CAUGHT DOWNLOADING ADULT FILMS. WHAT IS THE EASIEST WAY TO UNDERSTAND THE ISP SUBPOENA NOTIFICATION LETTER THAT I RECEIVED AND WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS ON HOW TO PROCEED?

WALKTHROUGH (SERVED): I WAS JUST NAMED AND SERVED AS A DEFENDANT (RECEIVED A SUMMONS). WHAT DO I DO AND HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO RESPOND?

WHO IS SUING:

STRIKE 3 HOLDINGS LLC

WHAT ARE THEY SUING FOR:

THE UNLAWFUL DOWNLOAD OVER TIME OR STREAMING OF ADULT MOVIE TITLES PRODUCED UNDER THE BLACKED, TUSHY, AND VIXEN BRANDS.

WHAT DO THEY WANT:

ONE SETTLEMENT FOR THE UNLAWFUL DOWNLOAD OR STREAMING OF THEIR COPYRIGHTED ADULT MOVIE TITLES PRODUCED UNDER THE BLACKED, TUSHY AND VIXEN BRANDS.

HOW FAR ARE THEY WILLING TO GO?

DEPENDS ON WHICH FEDERAL COURT THE CASE IS FILED IN.  DEPENDS ON THE PROCLIVITIES OF THE PLAINTIFF ATTORNEY / STRIKE 3 HOLDINGS LLC’S LOCAL COUNSEL, AND WHETHER HE/SHE IS WILLING TO NAME AND SERVE EACH DEFENDANT, AND WHETHER HE/SHE IS WILLING OR ABLE TO CONDUCT DISCOVERY.

HOW ARE THEY SUING?

THEY FILE A COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT LAWSUIT IN FEDERAL COURT AGAINST ONE UNKNOWN “JOHN DOE” DEFENDANT WITH ONE ACCUSED IP ADDRESSES. TRACKING OF THE DEFENDANT OFTEN TOOK PLACE FOR MONTHS OR YEARS BEFORE THE LAWSUIT WAS FILED. JUDGE ALLOWS THEM TO SEND A SUBPOENA TO THE ACCUSED DEFENDANT’S ISP FORCING IT TO PROVIDE THEM THE ACCUSED “JOHN DOE” DEFENDANT’S CONTACT INFORMATION (AND OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION).

STRIKE 3 HOLDINGS, LLC HAS DEVISED A WAY OF UNMASKING THE IDENTITY OF ACCUSED DOWNLOADERS *WITHOUT* NEEDING TO GO THROUGH A FEDERAL COURT SUBPOENA PROCESS.

  • 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.

STRATEGIES:

1) HAVE AN ATTORNEY DEFEND THE CLAIMS IN LITIGATION (RESULT: ATTORNEY FEES, NOT REFUNDABLE; EVENTUAL DISMISSAL).

2) HAVE AN ATTORNEY NEGOTIATE A SETTLEMENT COVERING ALL PAST CLAIMS OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT FOR THE MOVIE TITLES PROUCED BY BLACKED, TUSHY, AND VIXEN.

SETTLEMENT WILL BE BASED ON THE PROFILE OF THE DOWNLOADER (DEMOGRAPHIC, INCOME, AND SOCIAL NETWORK INFORMATION).  AMOUNT OF SETTLEMENT WILL TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHAT OTHER DOWNLOADS HE HAS DOWNLOADED, AND WHAT OTHER MOVIES HE HAS SEEN (AND WHETHER THOSE MOVIES ARE CLIENTS OF THE PLAINTIFF ATTORNEY).

ABILITY TO PAY AND WHETHER THE DOWNLOAD ACTUALLY HAPPENED (OR WHETHER THE MOVIE WAS ACTUALLY STREAMED) IS A RELEVANT FACTOR IN CONSIDERING THE SETTLEMENT AMOUNT.

3) HAVE AN ATTORNEY ACT AS A BUFFER BETWEEN YOURSELF AND THE PLAINTIFF ATTORNEY.  THIS IS OFTEN CALLED THE “IGNORE” ROUTE BECAUSE NEGOTIATING A SETTLEMENT IS * NOT * THE INTENDED OUTCOME.

– FOR A DEFENDANT WHO DID NOT DOWNLOAD OR STREAM THE MOVIE: THE GOAL OF THE “IGNORE” ROUTE IS TO KEEP AN OPEN LINE OF COMMUNICATION WITH THE PLAINTIFF ATTORNEY TO CONVINCE HIM/HER THAT THE ACCUSED JOHN DOE DEFENDANT IS NOT THE DEFENDANT THE ATTORNEY IS LOOKING FOR — THAT HE DID NOT DOWNLOAD OR STREAM THE MOVIE TITLES PRODUCED BY BLACKED, TUSHY AND VIXEN, AND THAT HE IS NOT INTERESTED IN PAYING A SETTLEMENT.

– FOR A DEFENDANT WHO DID DOWNLOAD OR STREAM THE MOVIE: THE GOAL OF THE “IGNORE” ROUTE IS TO CREATE A BUFFER ZONE BETWEEN THE PLAINTIFF ATTORNEY AND THE ACCUSED JOHN DOE DEFENDANT.

THE GOAL IS TO STOP THE PLAINTIFF ATTORNEY FROM HAVING ANY COMMUNICATION WITH THE DEFENDANT, TO STOP ALL CORRESPONDENCES AND SETTLEMENT DEMAND LETTERS, AND TO FUNNEL ALL COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE OFFICE OF THE CASHMAN LAW FIRM, PLLC.  WE WOULD MONITOR THE CASE FOR CHANGES THAT AFFECT YOUR JOHN DOE ENTITY, AND WE WILL BE YOUR EYES AND EARS UNDERSTANDING EVERY EVENT THAT OCCURS IN THE CASE, AND WHAT THE RELEVANCE OF EACH EVENT IS.

THE INTENDED OUTCOME IS FOR THE PLAINTIFF ATTORNEY TO DECIDE TO NAME AND SERVE OTHER DEFENDANTS (AND THIS DOES HAPPEN).  HOWEVER, SHOULD YOUR DEFENSE ATTORNEY DECIDE THERE IS A “HIGH RISK” OF BEING NAMED AND SERVED, SETTLEMENT WILL BE SUGGESTED.

4) HAVE AN ATTORNEY DRAFT A “NO SETTLEMENT LETTER” ON YOUR BEHALF INFORMING THE PLAINTIFF ATTORNEY 1) THAT NOBODY IN THE FAMILY WATCHED OR DOWNLOADED THE MOVIE, AND THAT 2) NO SETTLEMENT WILL BE PAID, PERIOD.

NOTE: A “NO SETTLEMENT LETTER” IS A DISCOUNTED MEANS OF INFORMING THE PLAINTIFF ATTORNEY THAT NO SETTLEMENT PAYMENT WILL BE MADE, AND THAT HIS CHOICE IS EITHER TO NAME AND SERVE THE DEFENDANT OR LEAVE HIM BE.  BECAUSE THIS IS A DISCOUNTED “BAREBONES” STRATEGY, NO FURTHER COMMUNICATION WILL BE MADE WITH THE PLAINTIFF ATTORNEY.

    SCENARIO 2: IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ABOUT YOUR CASE AND YOUR OPTIONS, SET UP A PHONE CONSULTATION:

    FAQ SECTION:

    • When I am sued as a John Doe by Strike 3 Holdings, LLC, what are my options.

      When sued as a John Doe defendant in a Strike 3 Holdings, LLC lawsuit, the three options are to 1) file a motion to quash (or decide why it is a good idea not to file a motion to quash), 2) settle the claims against you, or 3) fight the claims in court through litigation.

    • Who are the attorneys behind the Strike 3 Holdings, LLC lawsuits?

      The attorneys behind the Strike 3 Holdings, LLC lawsuits are Lincoln Bandlow and John Atkin.

      Strike 3 Holdings, LLC separates out their local counsel by territories. Some attorneys control all of the lawsuits in one or two states, others take entire territories. Strike 3 Holdings, LLC attorneys and their personalities can be found here.

    • Does Strike 3 Holdings, LLC only sue in federal courts?

      No. In 2019, Strike 3 Holdings exploited Florida’s Bill of Discovery laws and used the Miami-Dade Florida county court to expose the identity of thousands of accused defendants.

    • Why are Strike 3 Holdings, LLC suing John Doe defendants?

      Strike 3 Holdings, LLC is suing John Doe defendants for the unlawful download or the streaming of adult movie titles produced under the Blacked, Tushy, Vixen, and Deeper brands.

    • What does Strike 3 Holdings, LLC want from me?

      Strike 3 Holdings, LLC wants one settlement for the unlawful download or streaming of their copyrighted adult movie titles produced under the Blacked, Tushy, and Vixen brands.

    • How far is Strike 3 Holdings, LLC willing to go in their lawsuits?

      How far Strike 3 Holdings is willing to go depends on which federal court the case is filed in. It depends on the proclivities of the plaintiff attorney, and whether he is willing to name and serve each defendant. It also depends on whether the Strike 3 Holdings, LLC local counsel is willing or able to conduct discovery to determine whether the accused defendant actually downloaded their copyrighted videos.

    • How does Strike 3 Holdings, LLC typically sue defendants for copyright infringement?

      Strike 3 Holdings, LLC sues defendants by filing a copyright infringement lawsuit in federal court. The lawsuit is filed against one unknown “John Doe” defendant accused of using one IP address.

    • Does Strike 3 Holdings, LLC sue immediately upon determining that the accused defendant is downloading or streaming their content?

      No. Strike 3 Holdings, LLC tracks the defendant for months or years before they file the lawsuit.

    • How does Strike 3 Holdings, LLC obtain the identity of the accused defendants?

      After filing the copyright infringement lawsuit in a federal court, Strike 3 Holdings, LLC asks the federal judge to allow them to send a subpoena to the accused defendant’s ISP. The subpoena forces the ISP to prove them the accused defendant’s contact information and other relevant information.

    List of Recent Strike 3 Holdings Federal Court Filings by State (December, 2021)

    Here is a list of Strike 3 Holdings filings in the Federal Courts for each state in which they sued defendants:

    California
    California Strike 3 Holdings cases are run by Lincoln Bandlow of Bandlow Law.

    Lincoln Bandlow used to work for Fox Rothschild, LLP, where he ran all of the Strike 3 Holdings attorneys and their cases across the US. But since the shake-up in May, 2019, he left Fox Rothschild, LLP and started his own law firm.

    I still think that Lincoln is behind the scenes running each of the Strike 3 Holdings, LLC cases filed across the US, but I no longer think he has sole authority and decision-making power. I believe that John Atkin (NJ) and Jackie James (NY/CT) also have similar power and authority.

    New Jersey
    New Jersey Strike 3 Holdings cases are run by John Atkin of The Atkin Firm, LLC.

    John Atkin used to work for Fox Rothschild, LLP in New Jersey. John Atkin was the only one of the Strike 3 Holdings attorneys handling all of the New Jersey Strike 3 Holdings filings, however, at the time in which he was with Fox Rothschild, LLP, I did not get the sense that he had authority to negotiate the cases himself. Rather, it appeared as if he was local counsel filing cases for Lincoln Bandlow.

    That changed in/around May, 2019. As you have read above, in my observation, John Atkin overthrew Lincoln Bandlow’s authority and carved out autonomy for himself among the Strike 3 Holdings attorneys in the hierarchy. By May, 2019, he already left Fox Rothschild, LLP and started his own law firm. I learned about this when I started seeing “The Atkin Firm, LLC” on the cases in which I was representing clients rather than Fox Rothschild, LLP.

    I still think that Lincoln might still be the “boss” of the various Strike 3 Holdings attorneys across the US along with the Strike 3 Holdings, LLC cases, but it appears to me as if John Atkin is working on his own (maybe as a co-equal boss with Lincoln Bandlow and/or Jackie James), with sole authority and decision-making power over his cases.

    For the moment, it is noteworthy to list the newly filed Strike 3 Holdings New Jersey cases:

    *NOTES TO SELF: There are TWO IMPORTANT reasons why Strike 3 Holdings, LLC is putting so much money into filing lawsuits in New Jersey:

    1) Strike 3 Holdings, LLC almost lost New Jersey as a state in which they would be allowed by the federal court to sue defendants (for lawyers, it was bad case law). For a short while, judges stood up to Strike 3 Holdings, LLC and stopped them from being allowed to send subpoenas to ISPs to force the ISPs to hand over the subscriber information to them.

    Apparently Strike 3 won that battle, so now they are taking advantage of that “WIN” and suing many defendants in New Jersey.

    2) The plaintiff attorney for each of these New Jersey cases is John Atkin of the Atkin Firm, LLC. There is a history WHY John Atkin is important to New Jersey, and that history is uncovered by understanding WHAT HAPPENED with the shake-up of attorneys last year.

    New York
    New York Strike 3 Holdings cases are run by Jacqueline M. James (Jackie James) of The James Law Firm, PLLC.

    Just as I described in the “Connecticut” section, Jackie James used to represent Malibu Media, LLC, another prolific copyright troll. Jackie was in charge of all of the Malibu Media, LLC cases filed in the New York federal courts.

    I consider Jacqueline James to be a “boss” when categorizing her among the Strike 3 Holdings attorneys in their hierarchy.

    Jackie James at one point was an important attorney filing many cases for Malibu Media, LLC. She even stayed with them after there was a shake-up of Malibu Media, LLC attorneys, but then one day she stopped filing for them.

    It is important to note that Jacqueline James stopped representing Malibu Media, LLC because she dropped them as a client. She did not “swing from one branch to the next” by dropping one client in favor of a more profitable one. When she dropped Malibu Media, LLC as a client, she did not have another client.

    It was only later that [I presume] Strike 3 Holdings contacted her and asked her to file copyright infringement lawsuits on their behalf. Today, she appears to have independent authority and control of her cases, and she is in charge of the Strike 3 Holdings federal court lawsuits filed in New York and more recently, in Connecticut.

    When negotiating cases, Jacqueline James is known to be a difficult negotiator, but she is also fair. Be prepared to support everything you say with facts and if needed, documentation. Jackie James is the kind of attorney who does not simply take statements at face value, but she asks questions and follow-up questions… often which lead to uncomfortable conversations. Again, however, she is not known to gouge on settlement prices, but she is a tough in her approach.

    For the moment, it is noteworthy to list the newly filed Strike 3 Holdings New York cases:

    UPDATE: I am happy to share that while searching for Dawn Sciarrino (when writing up the Virginia cases), I could not understand why she would take Strike 3 Holdings, LLC as a client. However, searching for her, I found that Jackie James actually listed her as an attorney under her law firm. While I will post Dawn’s page under her state, because her we are discussing Jackie, you can find Jacqueline James’ profile and website here.

    Pennsylvania
    Pennsylvania Strike 3 Holdings cases are run by Jason M. Saruya of Clark Hill PLC.

    Jason Saruya of Clark Hill PLC is the name of the attorney who is showing up for the Strike 3 filings in Pennsylvania District Court.

    He works for Clark Hill PLC, and he works out of the Philadephia, PA office.

    There is not much information about Jason Saruya, but from what I understand, he is a younger attorney, and he is probably working with Elsy Velasquez as his superior, as Elsy Velasquez was the attorney from Clark Hill PLC that took over the Strike 3 Holdings, LLC Maryland cases after the shake-up of their attorneys.

    For the moment, it is noteworthy to list the newly filed Strike 3 Holdings Pennsylvania cases:

    Virginia
    Virginia Strike 3 Holdings cases are run by Dawn Marie Sciarrino of Sciarrino & Shubert, PLLC (more recently, I have found that she is working for Jacqueline James, the Strike 3 Holdings attorney for the NY/CT region).

    Dawn Marie Sciarrino is the name of the attorney who is showing up for the Strike 3 filings in the Virginia federal court filings.

    MY ORIGINAL WRITE-UP ON DAWN:
    Dawn Marie appears to be a partner in her law firm, and she works out of Centreville, VA.

    There is not much information about Dawn Marie Sciarrino (even their https://www.sciarrino.com website was down when I tried to reach it).

    From what I understand, she has been practicing as an attorney for many years. Her first bar was in New York in 1991, and she has represented clients before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and for the District of Columbia Circut.

    What I do not understand is… [with her background, both educational and vocational] why in the world would she take Strike 3 Holdings, LLC as a client? This makes no sense to me.

    UPDATED INFORMATION:
    Doing further research, I was very surprised to see that Dawn Sciarrino was listed as an attorney in Jackie James’ website.

    Understanding Jackie James’ background and her experience, the connection between Jackie and Dawn became clear. They know each other. It was likely Jackie who suggested that Dawn take the Virginia cases because Strike 3 Holdings, LLC needed an attorney to file lawsuits in the Virginia federal courts against those Miami-Dade Strike 3 Holdings defendants who did not settle the claims against them.

    For the moment, it is noteworthy to list the newly filed Strike 3 Holdings Virginia cases:

    Texas
    Texas Strike 3 Holdings cases are run by either:

    Forrest Matthew Seger, III of Clark Hill (San Antonio), or
    Andy Nikolopoulos and David Grant Crooks, both from Fox Rothschild LLP.

    As of January, 2022, I have not seen many new cases filed in the various Texas District courts, however, I *have* seen a LOT of activity by Forrest Matthew Seger, III on his cases from 2021. Thus, I would not mistake “no new cases” to mean “no activity.” There is a LOT of activity in Texas.
