Killer Joe Summary
If you are still reading forums about neglecting copyright letters sent by copyright owners, then you have to learn a lesson from this doe who paid the necessary fees for following that advice.

Reston Eilers was sent several copyright letters by Killer Joe Nevada LLC, the copyright owner of the movie “Killer Joe”. The alleged infringer was identified as Doe-76.115.252.140 after a subpoena was sent to the ISP where Mr. Eilers was subscribed with.

Court Hearing and Judgment

After various attempts of sending several letters to Mr. Eilers, which the defendant did not respond to, Killer Joe Nevada LLC asked the Court to issue a Show Cause Order requesting Mr. Eilers to cooperate and attend the show cause hearing.

Mr. Eilers assured the court …show more content…
Eilers explained that his failure to respond was in reliance on an advice provided by various Internet web pages that oppose copyright owner’s actions or copyright enforcement. The Court said that any advice to ignore court orders or a subpoena, whether served in person or by mail, is incorrect and provides no legal excuse.

Therefore, the Court found Mr. Eilers in contempt of the Court’s Order and the copyright owner was awarded reasonable costs and fees.

It’s written by Tracy Letts, directed by William Friedkin, and produced by Voltage Pictures, Picture Perfect, Worldview Entertainment, and ANA Media.

Killer Joe Nevada LLC is the company that files copyright infringement lawsuits against different John Does for downloading the movie “Killer Joe” via a torrent protocol.

    Right to Speedy Trial for Traffic Violations in New York

    In answer to the defendant's assertion in his affidavit of errors that his constitutional right to a speedy trial had been violated, the return of the court merely asserted that the right to a speedy trial did not apply to a traffic infraction. This assertion is incorrect, since the constitutional right to a speedy trial applies to all prosecutions (People v Wertheimer, NYLJ, June 5, 1986, at 15, col 5 [App Term, 2d & 11th Jud Dists]). Although a constitutional speedy trial claim is not waived by a guilty plea, it must be asserted in the court below in order to preserve the issue for appellate review as a matter of law (People v Jordan, 62 N.Y.2d 825; People v Blakely, 34 N.Y.2d 311). In view of the failure of the return to give any factual data regarding defendant's claim, it cannot be known for certain whether defendant made any motion to dismiss on this ground. Even it he did not, however, it is our opinion, in view of his pro se status, that the matter should be reviewed in the interests of justice (CPL 170.40; People v Williams, 151 A.D.2d 795, lv denied 76 N.Y.2d 744; People v Walker, 141 A.D.2d 991, 992, lv denied 72 N.Y.2d 962). In doing so, we conclude that an unexplained delay of over two years in bringing a simple traffic…
