MORE THAN 1,000 lawsuits were filed against pirates caught watching illegal streams online last year, but indications point to that number increasingly dramatically in 2018. Here’s why.

A torrent of lawsuits filed against online pirates within the last month has hinted at the true cost of streaming for free in 2018.

More than 1,000 lawsuits were filed against BitTorrent pirates in the United States last year.

However, the sheer volume of lawsuits filed in January 2018 points to a dramatic increase to that number in 2018.

Those figures come courtesy of  legal analytic company, Lex Machina.

The analysis from the California-based company reveals there were 1,019 file-sharing cases filed in the United States last year – an average of 85 a month.

More than half of all these were filed by adult entertainment firm, Malibu Media, which accounted for some 550 lawsuits filed against pirates last year.

While that is far from an insignificant number, it only looks set to increase in the coming months.

According data gathered by piracy-focused blog TorrentFreak, during the first month of 2018, three copyright holders filed a total of 286 lawsuits against alleged pirates.

That’s three times the monthly average for 2017 in January 2018 alone.

Malibu Media is still the largest contributor, with a total of 138 lawsuits to its name.

Strike 3 Holdings, another hugely-successful online pornography firm, is in second place with 133 cases.

According to TorrentFreak, the only non-adult copyright holder that filed cases against alleged BitTorrent pirates was Bodyguard Productions.

The company filed 15 lawsuits against people it believes downloaded copies of Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson action-comedy film The Hitman’s Bodyguard for free.

In total, there are a few dozen defendants.

Granted, it is tough to predict a trend from a single month’s data. However, it’s undoubtedly clear companies – including Malibu Media – have filed a higher number of lawsuits in January 2018 than last year.

Those who downloaded copyrighted content for free without permission from the rights holders are breaking the law.
