New Prenda Law Shell Corp Threatening to Tell Your Neighbors You Pirated Porn

Posted by Unknown on from the barely-legal dept.

It appears that Prenda Law, freshly defeated, has formed a new shell company named the "Anti-Piracy Law Group," and has resumed sending threatening letters to supposed porn pirates. But this time, they've expanded their threats (from a letter (PDF) sent to Fight Copyright Trolls): "The list of possible suspects includes you, members of your household, your neighbors (if you maintain an open wi-fi connection) and anyone who might have visited your house. In the coming days we will contact these individuals to investigate whether they have any knowledge of the acts described in my client’s prior letter" Naturally, the letter also notes that the recipient can avoid having the list of videos they supposedly copied sent to their neighbors and family if they settle for a few thousand bucks...

      majority of it is fake

      Wait, what!?!? It's fake? Crap. I guess I probably should go back to pirating movies and TV shows since those are real then.

    Hey, cut the Prenda guys some slack. They really need to earn some spending money, what with their upcoming dismissal from the bar and possible RICO prosecution...

    It is in fact illegal in the US as well.

    Although "blackmail" is such an ugly word. I prefer "extortion" - the X makes it sound cool.
