EFF Supports Bloggers against Prenda Law LLC

eff.org

EFF, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, is supporting for two blogs sued by a "copyright troll" law firm, EFF announced on its website.

Duffy and his law firm Prenda Law LLC are targeting the articles with critical thinking on the blogs, FrightCopyrightTrolls and DieTrollDie which are maintained by anonymous authors. They filed two defamation lawsuits last month claiming that the bloggers and their commenters defamed Duffy and his firm. Mitch Stolz, EFF Staff Attorney, said "These lawsuits are a blatant attempt to abuse the legal process to punish critics,”

"Critics of the copyright troll business model have the right to speak anonymously without their identities being exposed to the trolls," said Kurt Opsahl, EFF Senior Staff Attorney. "These sweeping subpoenas create a chilling effect among those who have spoken out against Prenda."
