Welcome to Au, LLC

We provide legal services dedicated to resolving BitTorrent-related copyright infringement allegations.

Targeted "John Doe" lawsuits

Emboldened by the adult film industry's "success," the music and video game industries have begun their own campaigns against anonymous internet users.

Thousands of "John Does" have receieved subpoena notifications from their ISPs

Comcast, AT&T, RCN, and other internet service providers vaguely suggest attempting to quash the subpoena - should you? You have options.

Au, LLC can help you.

We have successfuly resolved outstanding copyright infringement claims for countless "John Does."

What we do

Subpoena notifcation from your ISP? Guilty only of having an unsecured wireless router? Never even heard of Bit Torrent?


The adult film industry and, to a lesser extent the independent film, music, and now even video game industries, has over the past 24 months carried the torch for what the Record Industry Association of America (RIAA) began roughly 10 years ago: pursuing who it perceives as copyright "pirates" and utterly disregarding the difference between those who actually use file-sharing technology to infringe and those who simply neglected to secure their wireless routers.

Hard Drive Productions, Patrick Collins, AF Holdings, Boy Racer, Voltage Pictures, and Lightspeed Media are just a handful of companies who not only continue to track the flow of “bits” through and among the swarm of BitTorrent file sharers, but also pursue those who obtain unauthorized access to pay sites via "spoofed" logins and passwords. Moreover, individuals who have refused to settle claims are being sued individually and are being forced to substantively defend themselves in court.

As many “John Does” are still in the dark about the nature of this litigation, what they are accused of, what their exposure is, and what they need to do right now, this website was designed to be a clean, informative asset to help illuminate this most particular form of intellectual property litigation.

The attorneys at Au, LLC have helped many John Does stay anonymous and get their “situation” behind them. We invite you to peruse our ever-changing website, educate yourself, and contact us if you think we can help you.

Information

First, What is Going On?

What can I expect to happen once I receive notice from my ISP?

I have an unsecured wireless router. I am pretty sure nobody in my residence downloaded what I am accused of, but someone else may have hopped on and done so. Can I still be found liable?

I heard my case was "thrown out" – am I off the hook?
