Should I Settle With Strike 3 Holdings?
If you’ve been sued by Strike 3 Holdings for illegally downloading their copyrighted material, then you have two options at your disposal. You can settle the case against you, or fight them in court. In the majority of these cases, Strike 3 doesn’t have enough information to prove who illegally downloaded their adult movies. They only know the IP address where the illegal downloading occurred.
The Strike 3 Holdings attorneys at Kohl & Cook Law Firm, LLC can help defend you from the copyright lawsuit or help you settle. In this article, we’ll discuss the merits of settling your case against Strike 3 Holdings.
Pros of settling with Strike 3 Holdings
The majority of cases that Strike 3 files against individuals are settled quickly. Most individuals don’t want their names associated with a lawsuit filed by an adult movie producer. If you choose to settle, Kohl & Cook can help retain your anonymity. However, if you choose to settle, you will have to pay the settlement fee regardless of whether or not you believe you downloaded the copyrighted material. For many individuals, the settlement is worth maintaining their anonymity.
The benefits of settling with Strike 3 Holdings include:
- The case is resolved quickly, and with it goes the fear and aggravation of being sued
- You can settle your case under seal meaning that your name will not be listed in any public records
- We can help ensure that you and your IP address are released from liability so that you cannot be sued again for downloads that occurred before the settlement
If you choose to settle your case using Kohl & Cook Law Firm, LLC, we can ensure that you are protected from future copyright infringement claims (that occurred before the settlement date), even if you settled the case anonymously. We also help aggressively negotiate on your behalf. We helped our clients save thousands of dollars in potential copyright infringement fees by negotiating the settlement amount.
Pros and cons of litigating against Strike 3 Holdings
Settling a lawsuit anonymously comes at a cost. The plaintiff, Strike 3, will have considerable leverage when negotiating a settlement price if you say you want to settle anonymously. In other words, you’re paying for the right to have your case settled anonymously. If you know that you aren’t the one who downloaded the copyrighted material, then you should not take a settlement in this action. You should consider fighting the claims made in the suit.
The downside to litigating is the cost. It could cost as much to settle with Strike 3 as it does to defend yourself from their allegations. When choosing whether to fight or not, our attorneys will help you perform a cost/benefit analysis on the best course of action. Needless to say, however, you must address the lawsuit in some way.
