Summary Of Recent Copyright Severance Decisions

Malibu Media, LLC v. John Doe Subscriber Assigned IP Address 174.51.234.104,  2013 WL 3753436 (D.Colo. 2013)

Severance denied by Court which explained:

On balance, the Court finds that the information sought in subpoena is both relevant and necessary to Plaintiff’s interest in vindicating its valid copyrights through this litigation and the discovery sought herein. Defendant’s First Amendment right to anonymous file sharing is too slight to overcome this interest. Therefore, the Sony Music factors support enforcement of the subpoena.
