12+ years for Prenda Law Copyright Troll Honeypot Scam

Paul Hansmeier is being sentenced in one of the largest illegal copyright trolling scams in legal history. AF Holdings, Ingenuity 13, Guava LLC, and Prenda Law, were just some of the names Hansmeier and two others, John Steele and the late Paul Duffy, used to cover up their lack of proper ownership of the copyrights they used to extort millions of dollars in settlements from innocent individuals who had done nothing more than to fall into their trap. Hansmeier accused many alleged downloaders of either illegally using bittorrent or illegally hacking Hansmeier's computers. (Quick note: I mention an AF Holdings case in Philly. I was mistaken. The case was brought by Liberty Media Holdings / Marc Randazza. They weren't associated with Prenda or Hansmeier that I know of. However, they did drop the case under unexplained circumstances. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Randazza#Arbitration_Proceedings) * COMMUNITY! * Join our live discussions on Discord: http://discord.gg/mnzSKwP Discuss worldwide on Twitter: https://twitter.com/leonardjfrench Support more videos! https://www.patreon.com/ljfrench * THANK YOU PATRONS! * Support more videos here: https://www.patreon.com/ljfrench THANK YOU April 2019 supporters! 50 + Supporters!
