Prenda Law is one of the most notorious copyright trolls in the US. It is the law firm that threatens thousands of alleged BitTorrent pirates with lawsuits, but at the same time gives them the alternative of a relatively cheap “settlement”.
By downloading pirated movies, those caught often agree to pay a few hundred dollars, rather than go through the rather time-consuming and embarrassing ordeal of trying to defend themselves in court.
Fortunately, the law firm's system appears to have been malfunctioning in recent months, as the courts began to find serious deficiencies in the evidence presented by the firm to the respective court.
So today a publication exposed the underground activities of the law firm. Prenda Law was fishing for victims… How? It was seeding or distributing pirated material.
In this way, he made sure to catch his victims by storing all the IPs that downloaded the files he was sharing. You can imagine what happened next, a lawsuit with a settlement proposal and the profits in the Bank..
