By the way, it's really great that the Steele Hansmeier firm voiced their opposition to the motion to quash due to the inherent fallability of IP addresses as an identifying tool.
They just dug their own grave by affirming a strong defense for the defendants! If their IP wasn't good enough to identify where the computer containing the IP was located, then it sure as hell isn't good enough to identify who the person was that downloaded the allegedly infringed file!
This is getting so silly.
Legal filings are not copyrighted. So as soon as theyre filed and made public, they're fair game for everyone else to use! Woot! Just like the p2p law firms, which rip off of each others' legal filings in their ironic fashion.
For example, go to pacer, and search for case 10-cv-06254, that's the First Time Videos vs Does 1-500 case filed by Steele Hansmeier. Go to the document list. Documents 73-76 are the Motion to Quash, Motion to Dismiss, Motion for Protective Order, and Affadavit in support of those motions. Ding! Free! Enjoy!
