- South Florida grandmother stunned after being sued by ‘copyright troll’ for illegally downloading porn
An eighty-seven-year-old South Florida grandmother, Harriet Lieb, was sued by Strike 3 Holdings LLC for allegedly illegally downloading pornography using her IP address. She stated she had never been on a pornographic site and questioned why she received the lawsuit letter. A federal judge in DC called the company a "copyright troll" and threw out the lawsuit, describing their tactics as a "high-tech shakedown."
