16: The (Rhymes With Corn-O) Trolling Law Firm
Illinois attorneys John Steele and Paul Hansmeier had an X-rated dream: to represent the “little guys”. The wrongfully accused? The juvenile delinquents? The small businesses? Porn production companies, of course. What started out as a seemingly legitimate copyright business model snowballed into what Federal Judge Otis D. Wright II called “a porno trolling collective”. Yes, there are court transcripts.
Wolf of Wall Street meets Suits meets adult film stars meets iconic court transcripts. Hear Reb unzip the epic saga of Prenda Law and Ingenuity 13 LLC v. John Doe (2012).
INTRO: 00:00
CASE STARTS: 11:10
