The owner of adult content site X-art.com has ramped up copyright infringement litigation efforts in the past two months, filing 451 more lawsuits against file-sharers said to be poaching their content.
Adult production company X-art.com has filed a lawsuit against its former counsel who lead its massive copyright enforcement program that over six years filed more than 4,300 infringement lawsuits in federal courts against those who illegally downloaded its films.
In a strongly worded order yesterday, a federal judge denied a motion by the operators of X-art.com to subpoena a John Doe defendant accused of sharing its movies through BitTorrent.
An arbitrator last week denied a request by the operator of X-art.com to take over the domain name FreeX-art.com in a cybersquatting case filed at the National Arbitration Forum.
Malibu Media, the parent company of X-Art.com, told a federal court Sunday that it will dismiss copyright infringement claims against any defendant who passes a polygraph test. The company also noted that it goes to great lengths to profile possible defendants, including surveillance of their Facebook accounts.
Earlier this month, Malibu Media, better known as X-Art.com, caught a large piracy fish, perhaps its biggest fish ever, when it won a default judgment against defendant L. Sagala from Muskegon, Mich.
