Cultural Shock: Urgent! I am being sued by my ISP...

Just to clarify: this person is not me.

Translation: 急!!!我被宽带网公司给起诉了。在线等!谢谢 from Wenxuecity

I received the following letter today

Court Case: Voltage Pictures(The Plaintiff)

Court: United States District Court District of Columbia

Copy Righted Work:xxx

It seems to be due to a movie I downloaded. The letter also came with a subpoena:

Production: You Are COMMANDED to produce at the time, date, and place set forth below the following documents, electronically stored information, or objects, and permit their inspection, copying,testing, or sampling of the materials:Pursuant to the attached order, provide the name, current address, email address and MAC address of all individuals whose IP addresses are listed in the attached spreadsheet

Place: xxxxxxx,Washington DC, Date and time: 10/20/2013

I have never seen anything like this!!! What does it mean?! Do I have to hire a lawyer? They gave me an objection deadline: Feb 11, 2011

This is an emergency. I am really nervous. They say that this is a Civil lawsuit and not criminal investigation, but I have never received such a letter before! Please help me make sense of it! Thank you all!





In the comment section, the dude reveals that he used emule. On a separate note, VeryCD took down eD2k links to most of the TV series, movies, and music, to the great dismay of Emule users in China.

  1. It's no surprise. The entertainment industry loses billions of dollars worldwide because of piracy. I suspect they will keep on pursuing illegal downloads and find more innovative precaution measures.

  2. A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
    Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
