TekSavvy ordered to ID alleged movie downloaders
Voltage Pictures targets 2,000 customers of internet service provider
The Canadian Press Posted: Feb 21, 2014 1:00 PM ET Last Updated: Feb 21, 2014 9:04 PM ET
Canadian Internet service provider TekSavvy has been ordered to hand over the names and addresses of about 2,000 customers who are alleged to have downloaded movies online.
A Federal Court decision released Thursday compels Ontario-based TekSavvy to identify the customers allegedly linked to downloads of films by the U.S. production company Voltage Pictures, which is behind the likes of The Hurt Locker, Dallas Buyers Club and Don Jon.
As a result, those TekSavvy customers could eventually receive a letter from Voltage threatening legal action. Under the federal Copyright Act, statutory damages for non-commercial infringement range between $100 and $5,000.
