9 December 2005

Today there was a press release in San Diego California, Dec 8 2005 naming my wife as an illegal piracy person who downloads movies and resells them.

Media came to out home and notified us of this.  We have no idea what's going on.  I read your website for contact and thought I'd send you an email

My name is Rick Pearson and my wife's name is Brenda Pearson. We live in Imperial Beach, California. Myself and my wife have never ever downloaded any movies or music from the internet and don't have a clue what's going on.  Is there a contact person or someone who can update us.

I am a Network Engineer , the media told us it was downloaded with imesh, I've heard of that program but have never used it or even seen it being used. They told us two movies were downloaded, I don't remember either of the names.  Right now we are stunned.

Sincerely

Rick Pearson

My wife remembered the names of 1 of the movies the media told us, out of 2, it was called Punisher, we can't remember what the other one was.

Rick,

MPAA is engaged in massive intimidation and couldn't care less about harming innocents with brutal assaults. There are groups ready to defend Brenda, mount a counter-assault and expose the racketeering thugs. The Electronic Freedom Foundation is one of the most notable.

See: www.eff.org

There are others as well who will pick up your case.

John

Penalty for 2 films could hit $300,000

[Excerpt]

An Imperial Beach woman was sued yesterday by the Motion Picture Association of America for allegedly downloading and sharing movies online.

Brenda Pearson downloaded 1994's "The Professional" and 2005's "Constantine," starring Keanu Reeves, and swapped them through an online network, according to the Motion Picture Association.

Pearson, who could not be reached for comment, is among hundreds of people nationwide who have been sued by the motion picture association since last November as part of a campaign to fight movie piracy on the Internet.

The federal suit, which was filed on behalf of Sony Pictures and Warner Bros., the studios that distributed the films, seeks damages that could run as high as $300,000. Under the Copyright Act, Pearson can be fined up to $30,000 for each film shared over the Internet, and as much as $150,000 per film if the act is proven to be willful, according to the association.
