Porn Troll Panics, Dismisses Pending Lawsuits

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday March 16, 2013 @01:23AM from the abort!-abort! dept.

JayRott writes "According to Ars, 'The embattled copyright trolling firm Prenda Law is seeking to contain the fallout from a looming identity theft scandal by voluntarily dismissing lawsuits filed by the shell company AF Holdings. A Minnesota man named Alan Cooper has charged that Prenda fraudulantly used his name as the CEO of AF Holdings, allegations that have attracted the attention of a California judge. Ken at the legal blog Popehat broke the news that Prenda attorney Paul Duffy has sought dismissal of at least four pending infringement cases involving the Prenda-linked shell company AF Holdings. All four dismissals occurred in the Northern District of Illinois.' I don't see how Prenda thinks this is going to make one lick of difference to an already angry Judge."

If you think porn has nothing to do with nerds, I'm afraid you're sadly mistaken.

If you've *done* all the porn on the Internet, you'll be too sore to get anything else done.
