USCG Sues Copyright Defense Lawyer

Posted by samzenpus on from the nip-it-in-the-bud dept.

ESRB writes "The US Copyright Group has sued Graham Syfert, an attorney who created a packet of self-representation paperwork for individuals sued for P2P sharing of certain movies and moved to have sanctions placed against the defense attorney. Syfert sells these packets for $20, and the USCG claims the 19 individuals who have used it have cost them over $5000."

    I think the U.S. Coast Guard should sue the U.S. Copyright Group.
