Most cases involving Strike 3 Holdings LLC are resolved through a negotiated settlement. Strike 3 has filed over 11,000 cases and taken very few of them to trial. The issue is typically at what dollar amount does settlement make sense vs the risk of trial. Agreeing to a negotiated settlement enables you to end proceedings against you and maintain your anonymity. We seek to achieve settlements at a value well below what Strike 3 normally settles cases for when it agrees to our of court settlements. We will handle the entire negotiation process to help you avoid the case going to court and minimize the settlement amount.
Not everyone is willing to settle with Strike 3 and you have no obligation to do so. Some judges have a clear picture of the strike 3 business model and lean towards results that get defendants out of court. Strike 3 is following the business model of an older adult video company named Malibu Media, who pioneered the aggressive practice of suing viewers of their product for copyright infringement. It is estimated that this practice yields Strike 3 Holdings a revenue of approximately $10MM annually. In 2012, a California judged described these type of lawsuits as “essentially and extortion scheme” and in 2013 a Judge in Wisconsin agreed that Malibu Media’s tactics were designed to “harass and intimidate” defendants into paying large settlements. If you opt to defend your case instead of paying a settlement, we will put forward an aggressive defense intended to get you out of the case or at least force Strike 3 into an inexpensive settlement. We will review the specifics of your case and determine based on them what we believe will be the most effective defense strategy.
Because of the shear volume of cases Strike 3 does not move forward on all the cases it files. This is particularly true if an obstacle of sorts is encountered. If, for example, an ISP does not respond to its subpoena the case may sit dormant and ultimately end up being dismissed as the cost of proceeding might be seen as outweighing the benefit. Thus while we do not recommend ignoring any legal proceeding that is initiated against you, do nothing for a period of time to wait and see what happens can in some instance be a viable strategy. If the case proceeds, the same options 1 and 2 above are available whereas if the case does not proceed then you have just lucked out.
Wow, wonderful news, Curtis! You have been beyond helpful and reassuring in all of this, and for that I thank you. I've notified my old housemates that things have been sorted out. Again, thank you for everything!

I'm a California attorney. When one of my client's got caught up in a Strike 3 Holdings scam, I researched the case and discovered Mr. Edmondson, a seasoned litigator. My understanding is that he is the only lawyer that has ever prevailed against Strike 3 in Federal Court. He was extremely kind to me and to my client and ended up taking over the case. I can't say enough great things about him!
