BitTorrent Defense Lawyer Joins Copyright Trolls - DC attorney Mike Meier was initially well-known as a defense attorney for BitTorrent users, but in recent months he’s made an interesting career move. Perhaps recognizing that more money could be made with a slight shift in focus, Meier has joined the “other” side, suing hundreds of BitTorrent users on behalf of copyright holders.
http://torrentfreak.com/bittorrent-defense-lawyer-joins-copyright-trolls-111126/Fairfax Attorney Mike Meier from the firm of Lee & Meier PLLC, also doesn't always play by the rules..
"Finally, the assertion by Plaintiff’s counsel, Mr. Meier, that he “does not employ abusive practices” (Opposing Memo, p. 2) reflects, at best, a case of amnesia. Mr. Meier is no stranger to such practices. Indeed, while representing plaintiffs in a sexual harassment lawsuit against entertainers Siegfried & Roy, Mr. Meier was sanctioned $37,415.00 in September 2011 on account “of the subjective bad faith demonstrated by Plaintiffs arguments and method of litigating this case.” Preiss v. S & R Production Co., 2011 WL 4402952 at *4 (D.Nev. Sep. 20, 2011)."
http://beckermanlegal.com/Lawyer_Copyright_Internet_Law/patrickcollins_does1-45_120806ReplyMemo.pdfThere are very few references associating Mike Meier to the "Family Practice" of Lee & Meier PLLC from Fairfax Virginia, as they most likely don't want to be associated with the porn industry, but I stumbled upon this little nugget:

my search for Soyoung Lee led me here:

Copyright troll subspecies: Weretroll (Mike Meier) - Troll of the week
“Weretroll” is a portmanteau of “troll” and “werewolf”, a name for a miserable kind of formerly decent attorneys who turn into trolls when the moon is full, confusing the full moon with a golden coin. Unlike a werewolf, a weretroll can bark, but cannot bite — just like any other representative of the troll genera. Like its relatives, it lives of those whom it manages to coerce into settling using deception and hollow threats.
A DC attorney Mike Meier was once listed on the EFF subpoena defense page. Although his name cannot be found there anymore, there are many articles saying that his “Copyright Law Group” defended those accused of copyright infringement in mass p2p cases:

A sampling of the suits that Mike Meier has filed...to think I occassionally make Oscar cringe, I can't even begin to to think of the cringe factor from attorney Soyoung Lee, and Georgetown University, knowing that they are now linked and tied to "Illegal Ass 2", "Working Girls", SuperGirl XXX An Extreme Comixxx Parody, XXX Avengers, All About Kagney Linn Karter, and this one is classic.... "So Young So Sexy"
In this last title "
So Young So Sexy", I can't help see the resemblance to his attorney partner
Soyoung Lee and it's a very strange coincidence that Mike Meier attempted to hide this title in the actual suit, only to be exposed.

I mean hell so far she's only been associated with one of the most hated copyright trolls on earth and "Illegal Ass", it's not as if she got the Attorney paul Lesko treatment who is forever linked to "teen Anal Sluts"..
That concludes part 1 of my reporting, now onto AKM Images...
