All that said- an IP address does not equal location. This can be disproved a thousand ways from Sunday. Even if they get the judge (Blackburn I am guessing - haven't read the claim) to believe it is (which he shouldnt, since he has been properly briefed on this before), you can show that they didn't take proper care in the chain of custody for all the logs of your IP. There is a bazillion ways here.

But again, if it is a proper suit - then get an attorney. Yes it will cost you almost the same amount it does to settle (the suits are designed that way), but it keeps them from doing a forensic scub on your hard drive.

So far I only received a notice from Comcast that the court has sent a subpoena for my information, seems that the lawyer representing Dallas Buyers Club LLC, he is from Golden Colorado ( Once I get back home I can post the case number and the name of the laywer ) somehow he persuaded the court, to grant his motion to find out who are the Jon Doe's, with just an public IP... I am still baffled that that even passed the court.
