A new entity called the US Copyright Group ("USCG"), ostensibly operating on
behalf of several independent filmmakers, has filed lawsuits against
thousands of Bit Torrent users in a federal court in Washington, D.C.. The
defendants, all currently unnamed individuals, called "John Does" in legal
cases, are accused of having uploaded and downloaded independent films such
as "Far Cry," "The Hurt Locker," "Steam Experiment," and "Uncross the Stars"
in violation of copyright law. CNET's News.com has put together a "
Frequently Asked Questions" piece that explains the litigation campaign in
more detail.

The USCG has obtained IP addresses it alleges are associated with
infringement, and has received permission from the court to issue subpoenas
to Internet Service Providers ("ISPs") to obtain the name and address of
subscribers associated with those IP addresses. News reports suggest that,
unlike the RIAA lawsuits against alleged mp3 downloaders, the attorneys
bringing these suits are not affiliated with any major entertainment
companies, but are instead intent on building a lucrative business model
from collecting settlements from the largest possible set of individual
defendants.

EFF, along with Public Citizen and the American Civil Liberties Union, has
filed an amicus brief asking judges in three of the cases in Washington, D.C
. to quash the subpoenas, arguing that the cases, which target of thousands
of BitTorrent users, flout legal safeguards designed to protect individual
rights. In the meantime, however, internet service providers continue to
receive subpoenas demanding that hand over the names and addresses of their
accused subscribers.

If you are a target, you probably have questions about how to proceed and
may wish to seek legal counsel. Because individual cases are unique, EFF
recommends that defendants contact an attorney in either Washington, D.C. or
their home state for a consultation.

Because so many people need legal help, and usually on a very short time
frame, the following attorneys have offered to assist those targeted to
understand their options. Fees are negotiable on a case by case basis. These
attorneys may, if necessary, file a motion to quash or otherwise intervene
on behalf of subpoena targets who retain them as counsel. The attorneys on
this list are not affiliated with the Electronic Frontier Foundation in any
way and by offering their names EFF does not intend to give any individual
endorsement of them.

Attorneys who are interested in joining this list should contact Eva
Galperin at [e-mail].

Note: If you wish to move to quash or dismiss, you (or your attorney) must
file a motion with the court. Your ISP will not file for you, and simply
sending a copy to your ISP is not enough to protect your identity. If
possible, it is usually best to retain counsel to assist.
