Call it legal XXX-tortion. Porn companies filed lawsuits against thousands of ‘John Does’ across the country.
The producers of “Blondie in Trouble,” “Illegal Ass 2” and other adult movies have accused unknown defendants of downloading the raunchy movies illegally through the online file sharing network BitTorrent and are trying to force the Internet service providers to release their names.
I think anyone who does an even routine checkup of PACER had noticed these lawsuits. Even if another reporter beat me* to get to the bottom of them, the real story’s fascinating.
THE MONEY PULL QUOTE: “You receive a letter that says you downloaded ‘Transsexual Dykes in Bondage.’ If you don’t send us the $1,500, we’ll file in court with your name on it,” said David Abrams of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University. “Even if you haven’t done it, it could be very upsetting to know that there’s going to be a court document … which says you are accused of downloading this file.”
**Seriously. I emailed myself in October: “My favorite lawsuit of the year: “Illegal Ass 2” v. bittorrent” #UGHHH regrets

New York seems to be running out of reasons to love New York, sez @weareyourfek. Luckily, we can always count on jesse green to find new old gay couples to interview. He is like national geographic in a way, always finding new lost native tribes. just when you think jesse’s profiled the last old gay new yorker, he will find another one for your ass, usually one with a story about cruising the everard baths

Da Capo's other notable music writing '11: New Times, TBD, WashCity Paper
Da Capo just released its annual best music writing anthology, which is reliably well-curated and this year includes some pleasant interwebby surprises, like a Drew Daniel post on stereogum about “Meat is Murder.” The authors also include a list of ‘other notable music writing’ at the back of the book, and my cover story on Cuban punks was very sweetly acknowledged. Check out the rest of the list because it includes CRIMINALLY under-read stories like Gus Garcia Roberts’ profile of Scott Storch (for my former employer, the Miami New Times) and Jonathan Fischer’s piece on moombahton.
