The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure say that to get into federal court, you have to assert more than $80k in damages. Unless Paramount can assert that somehow he redistributed 'Coach Carter', I'm not sure there is much room to charge him with more than $20 in damages...Unless they want to make him pay their legal fees (ouch). The filing fee just to bring the case is $250.
