Saper Law Represents Defendants in Bodyguard Productions Copyright Infringement Lawsuits

Bodyguard Productions, Inc. is filing several federal lawsuits against Illinois, New York, Washington, Colorado, Hawaii, Utah, and Virginia residents for copyright infringement. The production company alleges defendants have illegally downloaded or otherwise acquired digital copies of their 2017 film Hitman’s Bodyguard using file-sharing software, such as BitTorrent.

The Steps That Lead to Your Subpoena

Bodyguard Productions, Inc. likely uses BitTorrent to identify the IP addresses associated with the unlawful copying or downloading of their copyrighted work. After the IP addresses are located, Bodyguard Productions, Inc. files a copyright infringement lawsuit in federal court. Then, the company will subpoena the defendant’s Internet Service Provider (ISP), I.E. Comcast, Time Warner, AT&T, for the defendant’s information. After the Subpoena is received, the ISP will contact the defendant for the opportunity to challenge the subpoena or the lawsuit prior to the ISP’s release of information.
