BitTorrent lawsuit

On March 7, 2011, Camelot Distribution Group, a film company based in Los Angeles, filed a federal lawsuit, Case No. CV 11-1949 DDP (FMOx), in the District Court for the Central District of California, against BitTorrent users who allegedly downloaded the movie between January and . The lawsuit which targets 5,865 IP addresses, seeks to compel ISPs to identify the defendants from their IP addresses. The company has until May 13 to "show cause why the Doe defendants should not be severed and/or dismissed from this action based on improper joinder of parties or lack of personal jurisdiction".

 will act as amicus counsel on the side of the defendants, who at this stage are known only by their internet IP addresses and rough geographic location.

The lawsuit is seen as part of a courtroom based strategy in which defendants are asked to settle or risk being named in a public lawsuit. If successful, the lawsuit could end up collecting more money than the movie earned at the box office.

Incentive Capital of Utah also filed a nearly identical lawsuit against the same IP addresses with the same judge on May 6, 2011.

On May 23, 2011, Camelot filed to dismiss their case, though the distribution group stated that they may refile it the case in San Francisco. The lawsuit filed by Incentive Capital was dropped on June 10, 2011.

Film rights

Following the filing of the BitTorrent lawsuit, concerns have been raised as to whether Camelot Distribution Group owns the rights to the film. Camelot defaulted on a loan financed by Incentive Capital used to purchase the movie rights. Though Incentive Capital has already foreclosed on the film, Camelot has stated that the foreclosure was an improper "usurpation of its assets".
