Who started the copyright trolling model...the porn industry or Getty?It seems like the exact same model.

Same idea, different model..the main difference would be that Prenda would files 1 suit naming many does, thus avoiding many 350.00 filing fees, and once they filed they would subpeona the ISP to get the user info behind the IP... Getty rarely files suit...because they know they would most likely loose, with the exception of a few hand picked cases, which they like to use as examples..

Also the porn trolls used the "Shame" factor as a weapon too, many would pay even if they didn't do anything because they feared being named in a public case for downloading porn.

Courts have really given the Prenda model a hard .  . .time in recent cases.

I've only reviewed the broad strokes of this case. Sounds like those nuts are busted.
