The avalanche of copyright infringement lawsuits in the United States, mainly against BitTorrent users, are about to hit a dubious milestone. In total 99,924 defendants have been sued in the last 12 months (http://torrentfreak.com/100000-p2p-users-sued-in-us-mass-lawsuits-110130/), and new cases are being filed at a rapid rate. Adult companies in particular have embraced the profitable pay-up-or-else scheme where tens of millions of dollars are at stake."Though, as other readers point out, both judges (http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/02/lawyers-cant-handle-opposition-give-up-on-p2p-porn-lawsuit.ars) and cable companies (http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/02/big-cable-getting-fed-up-with-endless-p2p-porn-subpoenas.ars) are getting tired of the endless subpoenas in P2P porn cases.
