PHILADELPHIA — A Nevada corporation is suing 15 unnamed people in Pennsylvania for allegedly infringing on a copyright for the feature film "Boyka: Undisputed IV."

UN4 Productions Inc. filed a complaint on June 20 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against the defendants, alleging that they made unauthorized copies of the plaintiff's motion picture through the file-sharing protocol BitTorrent.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that UN4 Productions was hurt financially from having its motion picture reproduced without its consent. The plaintiff holds the 15 unnamed defendants responsible because they allegedly made illegal copies of the plaintiff's motion picture through BitTorrent.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks to enjoin the defendant, destroy all unauthorized copies of the motion picture, statutory damages, court costs and any further relief the court grants. They are represented by Charles Thomas and Lee M. Herman of Creative Rights Law Group PLLC in Media, Penn.
