Mark my words, the court hearing that took place yesterday regarding the behavior of Prenda Law in litigating mass-Doe copyright infringement cases will become a dramatic movie scene one day. I bet there are already screenwriters out there putting the finishing touches on the script.
Read Ken White’s excellent play-by-play of the hearing, as presented on TechDirt.
One blog post is not enough to provide the back-story on Prenda Law and the mass-Doe litigation nightmare, so you might want to check out these links first:

And my previous presentation on mass-Doe infringement gives a basic overview of the litigation tactic.
Indeed one blog post is not enough… I’m happy that our work lead to this kind of publicity, even if the ants are forgotten in the process (http://fightcopyrighttrolls.com/category/clans/prenda/ – there are 92 posts in the “Prenda “category). I’m seriously happy.
