`
`PROPOSED FINDINGS OF FACT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
`
`This matter is before the court on plaintiff Malibu Media, LLC's ("plaintiff' or "Malibu
`
`Media") amended motion for default judgment (Docket no. 23) against defendant James Howard
`
`("defendant" or "Howard"). Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)( l )(C), the undersigned magistrate
`
`judge is filing with the court his proposed findings of fact and recommendations, a copy of
`
`which will be provided to all interested parties.
`
`Procedural Background
`
`On July 5, 20 I 8, plaintiff filed a complaint against a John Doe defendant associated with
`
`a certain known Internet Protocol ("lP") address. (Docket no. I). On July 9, 2018, this court
`
`granted plaintiff's request (Docket no. 5) to serve a third-party subpoena prior to a Federal Rule
`
`of C ivil Procedure 26(f) conference on John Doe's internet service provider ("ISP"). (Docket
`
`no. 8). In response to the third-party subpoena, the ISP disclosed that James Howard was the
`
`person associated with the IP address identified in the complaint. On September 20, 2018,
`
`plaintiff filed an amended complaint substituting James Howard as defendant in this matter.
`
`(Docket no. I 0) (" Am. Compl."). In its amended complaint, plaintiff alleges that Howard
`
`willfully downloaded, copied, and distributed without authorization all or portions of eight
`
`

`

`Case 1:18-cv-00832-CMH-JFA Document 25 Filed 02/22/19 Page 2 of 13 PageID# 181
`
`copyrighted films owned by plaintiff using BitTorrent, a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol, in
`
`violation of 17 U.S.C. §§ 106(1), 106(3)-(5), and 501. (Am. Compl. 112, 10-25). The amended
`
`complaint seeks statutory damages, injunctive relief, attorney's fees, and costs. (Am. Compl. at
`
`6).
`
`On September 20, 2018, a summons was issued for service on defendant. (Docket no.
`
`11). On October 3, 2018, plaintiff filed a motion for an extension of time to serve the summons
`
`and the complaint (Docket no. 12), which this court granted on October 4, 2018 (Docket no. 14 ).
`
`On October 19, 2018, a return of service was filed by plaintiff confirming that Howard was
`
`personally served with the summons and the amended complaint on October 5, 2018. (Docket
`
`no. 15). In accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(a), defendant's responsive
`
`pleading was due October 26, 2018, twenty-one days after defendant was served with a copy of
`
`the summons and the amended complaint. Defendant has not filed a responsive pleading and the
`
`time for doing so has expired.
`
`On January 14, 2019, plaintiff filed its request for entry of default as to defendant
`
`pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(a). (Docket no. 16). On January 15, 2019, the
`
`Clerk of Court entered default as to defendant pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(a).
`
`(Docket no. 17). On January 22, 2019, the court ordered plaintiff to promptly file a motion for
`
`default judgment, an accompanying memorandum in support, and a notice setting the hearing.
`
`(Docket no. 18). On January 26, 2019, plaintiff filed a motion for default judgment (Docket no.
`
`19), a memorandum in support (Docket no. 20), a declaration of John C. Decker, II (Docket no.
`
`20-2), exhibits (Docket nos. 20-1, 20-3, 20-4, 20-5), and a notice setting the hearing for February
`
`22, 2019 (Docket no. 21 ). On February 1, 2019, the court entered an order requiring plaintiff to
`
`file a notice indicating whether it had served the appropriate Roseboro warning on defendant as
`
`2
`
`

`

`Case 1:18-cv-00832-CMH-JFA Document 25 Filed 02/22/19 Page 3 of 13 PageID# 182
`
`required by Local Civil Rule 7(K). (Docket no. 22). That same day, plaintiff filed an amended
`
`motion for default judgment with the appropriate notice. (Docket no. 23). On February 22,
`
`2019, plaintiffs counsel appeared before the undersigned pursuant to the notice of hearing and
`
`no one appeared on behalf of the defendant.
`
`Factual Background
`
`The following facts are established by the amended complaint. Plaintiff Malibu Media,
`
`LLC (d/b/a "X-Art.com") is a limited liability company organized under the laws of California,
`
`with its principal place of business in Westlake Village, California. (Am. Compl.118).
`
`Defendant James Howard is an individual residing in Ashburn, Virginia. (Am. Compl. 11 9).
`
`Plaintiff is the owner of the eight copyrighted films at issue in this action, which are detailed in
`
`Exhibit B of plaintiff's amended complaint (Docket no. 10-3) and attached to this proposed
`
`findings of fact and recommendations as Exhibit A. (Am. Compl. 111 3, 22, 29).
`
`The BitTorrent file distribution network ("BitTorrent") is a peer-to-peer file sharing
`
`system that allows users to interact with one another to distribute large amounts of data,
`
`including digital movie files. (Am. Compl. 11 10). BitTorrent allows individual users to
`
`distribute large files, broken into small pieces called "bits," with other users without the use of an
`
`intermediary host website. (Am. Compl. 111 11-12). After a user receives all of the bits of a
`
`digital media file from other users, the user's BitTorrent client software reassembles the bits in
`
`order to open and utilize the file. (Am. Compl. 1 13).
`
`Between October 13, 2017 and June 10, 2018, plaintiff's investigator, IPP International
`
`UG ("plaintiff's investigator"), established direct TCP/IP connections with defendant's IP
`
`address and downloaded one or more bits of each of the eight copyrighted films at issue in this
`
`action through BitTorrent. (Am. Compl. 111 17-24; Docket no. 10-2). Plaintiffs investigator
`
`3
`
`

`

`Case 1:18-cv-00832-CMH-JFA Document 25 Filed 02/22/19 Page 4 of 13 PageID# 183
`
`further downloaded a full copy of each copyrighted film at issue from BitTorrent. (Am. Compl.
`
`120). Through this process, plaintiff's investigator established that defendant downloaded,
`
`copied, and distributed a complete copy of each copyrighted film at issue on BitTorrent without
`
`authorization from plaintiff. (Am. Compl. 11 17-24). Plaintiff's evidence of multiple downloads
`
`from defendant to plaintiff's investigator indicates that defendant is a persistent BitTorrent user.
`
`(Am. Compl. 1 25).
`
`Proposed Findings and Recommendations
`
`Rule 55 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides for the entry of a default
`
`judgment when "a party against whom a judgment for affinnative relief is sought has failed to
`
`plead or otherwise defend." Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a). Based on defendant's failure to file a
`
`responsive pleading, the Clerk of Court has entered a default as to James Howard. (Docket no.
`
`17). A defendant in default admits the factual allegations in the complaint. See Fed. R. Civ. P.
`
`S(b )( 6) (" An allegation-other than one relating to the amount of damages-is admitted if a
`
`responsive pleading is required and the allegation is not denied."); see also Globa/SantaFe Corp.
`
`v. G/obalsantafe.com, 250 F. Supp. 2d 610,612 n.3 (E.D. Va. 2003) ("Upon default, facts
`
`alleged in the complaint are deemed admitted and the appropriate inquiry is whether the facts as
`
`alleged state a claim."). Rule 55(b)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides that a
`
`court may conduct a hearing to detennine the amount of damages, establish the truth of any
`
`allegation by evidence, or investigate any other matter when necessary to enter or effectuate
`
`judgment.
`
`Jurisdiction and Venue
`
`A court must have both subject matter and personal jurisdiction over a defaulting party
`
`before it can render a default judgment. Plaintiff brings this cause of action under the Copyright
`
`4
`
`

`

`Case 1:18-cv-00832-CMH-JFA Document 25 Filed 02/22/19 Page 5 of 13 PageID# 184
`
`Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. This court has subject matter jurisdiction over the claim
`
`under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1338. This court also has personal jurisdiction over defendant
`
`because defendant committed tortious acts in Virginia, resides in Virginia, and engaged in
`
`substantial and non-isolated activity in Virginia. (Am. Compl. ,i,i 5, 9). Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
`
`1391(b), venue is proper in this District because a substantial part of the events or omissions
`
`giving rise to the claim occurred in this District and defendant resides in this District. (Am.
`
`Com pl. ,i,i 7, 9).
`
`Given that defendant is in default, and therefore admits the factual allegations in the
`
`amended complaint, the undersigned magistrate judge recommends a finding that this court has
`
`subject matter jurisdiction over this action, that this court has personal jurisdiction over
`
`defendant, and that venue is proper in this court.
`
`Service
`
`Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(e)(2) provides that an individual may be served in a
`
`judicial district of the United States by "delivering a copy of the summons and of the complaint
`
`to the individual personally." Plaintiff's process server personally delivered a copy of the
`
`summons and amended complaint to defendant on October 5, 2018. (Docket no. 15). Pursuant
`
`to this court's order, plaintiff was required to serve defendant by October 29, 2018. (Docket no.
`
`14). Based on the foregoing, the undersigned recommends a finding that service of process has
`
`been accomplished in this action.
`
`Grounds for Entry of Default
`
`In accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(a), defendant was required to file
`
`a responsive pleading by October 26, 2018, twenty-one days after defendant was served with a
`
`copy of the summons and the amended complaint. No responsive pleading has been filed by
`
`5
`
`

`

`Case 1:18-cv-00832-CMH-JFA Document 25 Filed 02/22/19 Page 6 of 13 PageID# 185
`
`defendant and the time for doing so has expired. On January 14, 2019, plaintiff filed a request
`
`for entry of default against defendant by the Clerk of the Court pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil
`
`Procedure 55(a). (Docket no. 16). The certificate of service accompanying the filing indicates
`
`that plaintiff's counsel sent a copy to defendant at his mailing address. (Id at 2). The Clerk of
`
`Court entered a default against defendant on January 15, 2019. (Docket no. 17).
`
`On January 26, 2019, plaintiff filed a motion for default judgment (Docket no. 19), a
`
`memorandum in support (Docket no. 20), a declaration of John C. Decker, II (Docket no. 20-2),
`
`exhibits (Docket nos. 20-1, 20-3, 20-4, 20-5), and a notice setting the hearing for February 22,
`
`2019 (Docket no. 21 ). The certificates of service accompanying the motion and memorandum in
`
`support indicate that plaintiffs counsel sent a copy of the motion, memorandum, exhibits, and
`
`declaration to defendant at his mailing address, but neither filings contain the Roseboro notice
`
`required by Local Civil Rule 7(K). (Docket nos. 19, 20). On February 1, 2019, this court
`
`entered an order requiring plaintiff to file a notice with the court indicating whether it had
`
`provided defendant with the appropriate Roseboro notice. (Docket no. 22). Plaintiff responded
`
`that same day by filing an amended motion for default judgment with the required Roseboro
`
`notice. (Docket no. 23). For these reasons, the undersigned magistrate judge recommends a
`
`finding that the Clerk of Court has properly entered a default as to defendant and that defendant
`
`has notice of these proceedings.
`
`Liability
`
`According to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(c), a default judgment .. must not differ
`
`in kind from, or exceed in amount, what is demanded in the pleadings." Because defendant
`
`failed to file a responsive pleading and is in default, he admits the factual allegations in the
`
`amended complaint. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(b)(6).

`

`

`Case 1:18-cv-00832-CMH-JFA Document 25 Filed 02/22/19 Page 7 of 13 PageID# 186
`
`As alleged in the amended complaint, defendant willfully infringed upon plaintiffs
`
`copyrighted works in violation of 17 U.S.C. §§ 106(1), 106(3)-(5), and 501. (Am. Compl. ,i,i
`
`32-33). To establish a case of direct copyright infringement, plaintiff must establish two
`
`elements: (1) ownership of the copyright; and (2) that the alleged infringer violated at least one
`
`exclusive right granted to the copyright holder. 17 U.S.C. §§ 106, 501(a); see also Feist Publ'ns,
`
`Inc. v. Rural Tel. Serv. Co., 499 U.S. 340,361 (1991).
`
`First, the facts set forth in the amended complaint establish that plaintiff owns the
`
`copyrights to the eight films at issue in this matter, as enumerated in Exhibit B to the amended
`
`complaint (Docket no. 10-3) and Exhibit A to this proposed findings of fact and
`
`recommendations. (Am. Compl. ,i,i 3, 22, 29). Second, between October 13, 2017 and June 10,
`
`2018, plaintiff's investigator established direct TCP/IP connections with defendant's IP address
`
`and downloaded one or more bits of each of the eight copyrighted films at issue, many of which
`
`were bundled in siterips, through BitTorrent. (Am. Compl. ,i~ 17-21 ). Plaintiffs investigator
`
`recorded the unique "file hash," the electronic identification of the digital film or siterips, of the
`
`files that it downloaded from defendant's IP address and the date and time it did so, as detailed in
`
`Exhibit A to the amended complaint. (Am. Compl. ,i,i 18-21, 24; Docket no. 10-2). Thus,
`
`plaintiff has shown that defendant copied and distributed elements of the eight copyrights at
`
`issue through BitTorrent without plaintiffs authorization, permission, or consent. (Am. Compl.
`
`,i,i 30-32). Plaintiff has furthermore established that defendant's violation was willful, given the
`
`nature of the BitTorrent network. (Am. Compl. ,i,i 25, 33). Based on the foregoing, the
`
`undersigned recommends a finding that plaintiff has established defendant's liability for
`
`copyright infringement of the eight copyrights at issue in this action.

`
`Relief Sought
`
`Plaintiffs motion for default judgment and incorporated memorandum in support seeks:
`
`(i) $12,000.00 in statutory damages; (ii) a permanent injunction enjoining defendant from
`
`directly, contributorily, or indirectly continuing to infringe plaintiffs copyrighted works; (iii) an
`
`order that defendant delete and permanently remove the copyrighted films at issue in this action
`
`and any other copyrighted works of plaintiff from each of the computers and devices under
`
`defendant's possession, control, or custody; and (iv) $540.00 in costs. (Docket no. 20 at 16-17).
`
`Statutory Damages
`
`Pursuant to 17 U .S.C. § 504( c )( 1 }, a copyright owner may recover "an award of statutory
`
`damages for all infringements involved in the action, and with respect to any one work, ... in a
`
`sum of not less than $750 or more than $30,000 as the court considers just" for unintentional
`
`infringement. For infringement committed willfully, the court "may increase the award of
`
`statutory damages to a sum of not more than $150,000." 17 U.S.C. § 504(c)(2).
`
`Plaintiff alleges that defendant willfully infringed on its works and that a statutory
`
`damages award ofup to $150,000.00 would be appropriate. (Docket no. 20 at 10). However,
`
`plaintiff seeks $1,500.00 in statutory damages per infringement in this action, two times the
`
`minimum statutory damages award under 17 U.S.C. § 504(c)(l), which amounts to a total of
`
`$12,000.00 for the eight copyrighted films at issue. 1 (Id.). In similar cases, this court has held
`
`awards exceeding $1,500.00 per infringement but still well below the statutory maximum were
`
`appropriate. See, e.g., Malibu Media, LLC v. Richard Buka, No. I: 15-cv-0384 (LMB/JF A}, ECF
`
`25 (E.D. Va. Dec. 23, 2015) (awarding $2,250.00 per infringement); Malibu Media, LLC v.
`
`1 The minimum award of statutory damages may be reduced to $200 in the event an "infringer was not
`aware and had no reason to believe that his or her acts constituted an infringement of copyright." 17 U.S.C. §
`504(c)(2). However, the alleged infringer bears the burden of proof under section 504(c)(2). Because defendant has
`neither appeared in this action nor filed a responsive pleading, the undersigned does not consider such a reduction.
`
`8
`
`

`

`Case 1:18-cv-00832-CMH-JFA Document 25 Filed 02/22/19 Page 9 of 13 PageID# 188
`
`Megha Bakshi, No. 1:14-cv-0931 (TSEffCB), ECF 26 (E.D. Va. June 29, 2015) (awarding
`
`$2,250.00 per infringement). Plaintiff alleges its actual damages far exceed this sum because
`
`defendant materially aided thousands of BitTorrent participants with infringing on its works,
`
`resulting in thousands oflost sales. (Docket no. 20 at 11). Given defendant's willful
`
`infringement and considering that plaintiff's actual damages likely exceed the amount of
`
`statutory damages requested by plaintiff, the undersigned recommends a finding that statutory
`
`damages in the amount of$12,000.00 is reasonable.
`
`Permanent Injunction
`
`The Copyright Act provides the court with the power to grant injunctions in order to
`
`prevent or restrain infringement of a copyright. 17 U.S.C. § 502(a). In order for the court to
`
`provide injunctive relief, '"a plaintiff must show (1) irreparable injury, (2) remedies at law are
`
`inadequate to compensate for that injury, (3) the balance of hardships between plaintiff and
`
`defendant warrants a remedy, and (4) an injunction would not disserve the public interest." Raub
`
`v. Campbell, 785 F.3d 876,885 (4th Cir. 2015) (internal quotation marks omitted) (quoting
`
`Monsanto Co. v. Geerston Seed Farms, 561 U.S. 139, 156-57 (2010)).
`
`Regarding the first prong, "[i]rreparable injury often derives from the nature of copyright
`
`violations, which deprive the copyright holder of intangible exclusive rights." Christopher
`
`Phelps & Assocs., LLC v. Galloway, 492 F.3d 532, 544 (4th Cir. 2007). As alleged in the
`
`amended complaint, defendant's conduct has made plaintiff's copyrighted works available on
`
`BitTorrent for an extended period of time, and as a result, has exposed the works to widespread
`
`infringement. (Am. Compl. ,i,i 11, 17-25). Because defendant's conduct has made it unlikely
`
`that plaintiff will ever gain exclusive control over the copyrighted works at issue, plaintiff has
`
`9
`
`

`

`Case 1:18-cv-00832-CMH-JFA Document 25 Filed 02/22/19 Page 10 of 13 PageID# 189
`
`suffered irreparable harm. See EM/ Apr. Music, Inc. v. White, 618 F. Supp. 2d 497,510 (E.D.
`
`Va. 2009).
`
`Regarding the second prong, "the requisite analysis ... inevitably overlaps with that of
`
`the first." MercExchange, LLC v. eBay, Inc., 500 F. Supp. 2d 556,582 (E.D. Va. 2007). Here,
`
`absent an injunction, defendant's continued distribution of plaintiffs copyrighted works on
`
`BitTorrent makes any calculation of future damages entirely speculative. See generally
`
`Galloway, 492 F.3d at 544 ("[W]hile the calculation of future damages and profits for each
`
`future [infringement] might be possible, any such effort would entail a substantial amount of
`
`speculation and guesswork that renders the effort difficult or impossible .... "). Accordingly,
`
`plaintiff has demonstrated that any remedy at law is inadequate.
`
`The court must next consider whether the remedy of an injunction is warranted given the
`
`balance of hardship between plaintiff and defendant. Here, defendant would only suffer the
`
`hardship of conforming his actions to comply with the Copyright Act if an injunction is entered.
`
`On the other hand, plaintiff faces great difficulty in enforcing its copyrights absent an injunction.
`
`Consequently, the balance of hardship weighs in favor of issuing a permanent injunction.
`
`Finally, the court must consider whether the public interest favors a permanent
`
`injunction. Here, an injunction would prevent copyright infringement, which in turn furthers the
`
`public's interest in preserving the integrity of copyright laws. See Apple Comput., Inc. v.
`
`Franklin Comput. Corp., 714 F.2d 1240, 1255 (3d Cir. 1983) ("Since Congress has elected to
`
`grant certain exclusive rights to the owner of a copyright in a protected work, it is virtually
`
`axiomatic that the public interest can only be served by upholding copyright protections .... ")
`
`(internal quotation marks and citation omitted).

`
`

`

`Case 1:18-cv-00832-CMH-JFA Document 25 Filed 02/22/19 Page 11 of 13 PageID# 190
`
`For these reasons, the undersigned recommends that defendant be enjoined from
`
`continuing to infringe plaintiffs copyrighted works.
`
`Destruction Order Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 503(b)
`
`Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 503(b), a court may order, as part of a final judgment or decree,
`
`"the destruction or other reasonable disposition of all copies . . . found to have been made or
`
`used in violation of the copyright owner's exclusive rights." Specifically, plaintiff requests that
`
`the court require defendant to delete and permanently remove the digital media files and copies
`
`relating to plaintiffs copyrighted works from each computer and device under defendant's
`
`possession, custody, or control. (Am. Compl. at 6; Docket no. 20 at 12). Consistent with this
`
`statutory provision and to ensure against any future infringement of plaintiff's copyrights, the
`
`undersigned recommends that defendant be ordered to delete and permanently remove any of
`
`plaintiff's copyrighted works from any computer or device in his possession, custody, or control.
`
`Attorney's Fees and Costs
`
`Pursuant to section 505 of the Copyright Act, the court may authorize the recovery of full
`
`costs and an award of reasonable attorney's fees to the prevailing party in a copyright action. 17
`
`U.S.C. § 505. Plaintiff requests costs in the amount of $540.00 (consisting of the statutory filing
`
`fee of $400.00, process service fees of $60.00, and ISP fees of $80.00). (Docket no. 20-2 ,i 8).
`
`Plaintiff does not request attorney's fees. (Docket no. 20 at 16-17). After reviewing the
`
`applicable submissions by counsel, the undersigned recommends a finding that plaintiff is the
`
`prevailing party, the costs incurred by plaintiff were associated with this action, and plaintiff's
`
`request for $540.00 in costs is reasonable. Accordingly, the undersigned recommends that
`
`plaintiff be awarded $540.00 in costs.

`
`Conclusion
`
`For these reasons, the undersigned magistrate judge recommends that a default judgment
`
`be entered in favor of Malibu Media, LLC and that an order be entered that enjoins James
`
`Howard from continuing to infringe plaintiffs copyrighted works. It is also recommended that
`
`an order be entered that requires James Howard to delete and permanently destroy any digital
`
`files or copies of plaintiff's copyrighted works from any computers or devices that are under his
`
`possession, custody, or control. The undersigned further recommends that judgment be entered
`
`against James Howard in the amount of $ 12,540.00 (consisting of $12,000.00 in statutory
`
`damages arising from the copyright infringement claim and $540.00 in costs).
`
`Notice
`
`By means of the court's electronic filing system and by mailing a copy of this proposed
`
`findings of fact and recommendations to James Howard at 21799 Omeara Terrace, Apartment
`
`203, Ashburn, Virginia 20 147, the parties are notified that objections to this proposed findings of
`
`fact and recommendations must be filed within fourteen (14) days of service of this proposed
`
`findings of fact and recommendations and a failure to file timely objections waives appellate
`
`review of the substance of the proposed findings of fact and recommendations and waives
`
`appellate review of any judgment or decision based on this proposed findings of fact and
`
`recommendations.
`
`ENTERED this 22nd day of February, 2019.
