One of the most important battles with copyright trolls is Jeff Fantalis’s dedicated and well-versed counter-attack on a copyright troll extortion outfit comprised of its “boss” Keith M. Lipscomb, a jaded pornographer Brigham Field (Malibu Media), and Lipscomb’s local Colorado puppet Jason Aaron Kotzker. An update to this story has been long due.

This case was dismissed with prejudice and the plaintiff settled with the defendant.  Here is the article and document from fightcopyrighttrolls.com:

Here is an interesting article about the case above talking about how much the trolls are willing to pay to make a defendant go away when there is a good chance that the defendant can win or expose financial information and other information the trolls don't want known.
