Anti-Piracy, Spam & Phishing

In addition to filing lawsuits against wrongdoers, we employ creative techniques to accomplish our clients’ enforcement and deterrence objectives, including taking over forums and Web sites formerly run by pirates, infiltrating underground networks, working with informants and culling leads from forensic evidence.

We also serve our clients by:

• Devising and executing comprehensive anti-piracy strategies to disrupt and deter online infringers, combining internet investigation and monitoring, litigation and criminal referrals, and nontraditional enforcement methods.
• Filing complaints, injunctions and seizure orders against infringers, spammers, phishers, fraudsters, and other internet scofflaws.
• Conducting “Knock-and-Talks”™ with piracy and hacking targets using draft complaints to achieve rapid out-of-court settlements.
• Coordinating routine, large-scale deterrence projects using DMCA takedown notices, auction monitoring, demand letters, Web site takeovers, and domain name acquisitions.
• Appearing before Congress and federal agencies, and tracking and providing comments on legislation concerning piracy or intellectual property.
