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

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...

Indeed, and when you dabble in crime like that, you risk becoming some psychopath's new shrunken head trophy. Porno can rabbit trail to some serious mental disorders pretty pronto if you look at case studies. So by all means, blackmail away people who might potentially cut you up in tasty bits and make a coin purse out of your scrotum. It sounds like a self correcting problem to me.
