EPIC smackdown of Copyright Troll.

Does Prenda Believe In No-Win Scenarios? Because Judge Wright Just Gave Them One. | Popehat

Group of lawyers apparently acquire a bunch of copyrights to porn movies, hide ownership behind a bunch of shell companies (including apparently forging the signature of their gardener to hide that they own the copyright), and then go suing all and sundry, based on shoddy evidence and supposition. They then "graciously" offer a four or five figure settlement or face outing as a downloader of porn (despite the fact most of them did no such thing)

I've seen some pretty decent legal smackdowns in my time (Whacko Jacko Thompson and SCO Group come to mind), but geeeeeeez the judge tears them a new orifice,and then tears several more into them just in case.
