Studio Suing BitTorrent Pirates Does Not Own the Movie, Records Show

A film company suing 5,865 BitTorrent downloaders over the flick Nude Nuns with Big Guns doesn’t own the rights to the movie, according to court documents and interviews.

Incentive Capital of Utah took ownership last month of the B-rated flick about a sister who is “one Bad Mother.” Yet two weeks after Incentive Capital foreclosed and assumed Camelot Distribution Group’s titles because of an allegedly soured loan, Camelot filed a mass copyright lawsuit (.pdf) on behalf of Nude Nuns claiming it owned the rights.

“They’re holding themselves out as the owner of a title they don’t own,” Pia said. Incentive is also suing Camelot for $2 million on contract breach allegations (.pdf).

It's like that scene from pulp fiction... they thought they were going to do the nasty on several thousand people getting them to settle out of court. Sure enough it turns out they sold the copyright and now they're going to be the ones grabbing their ankles. THATS JUSTICE!!! I hope those punks end up broke in cardboard boxes.

Of course the studio will be relying on people settling without a fight since the only way these IPs can be collected is for the studio to record them from a server that is seeding the file(s). In other words the legal copyright holder is the source of the only files they can prove to have been downloaded. Hence all copies were in fact legal and no infringement can be shown to have occurred.
