“Killer Joe” is a 2011 “Southern Gothic” black comedy film starring Matthew McConaughey in a murder-for-insurance-money plot. It also enjoyed a ratings controversy as it garnered an NC-17 rating for bloody, sadistic violence. The owners of the film are now trying their hand with a substantial batch of Bittorrent suits in Ohio.
The Complaint lists Killer Joe Nevada LLC as the “RIGHTSHOLDER”, but other sources show that veteran Bittorrent copyright lawsuit troll Voltage Pictures, LLC–of “Hurt Locker” fame and “The Expendables” infamy was involved in the production, and this may explain the copyright litigation connection.
The Complaint I was provided was filed by Columbus, Ohio attorney Yousef M. Faroniya. Watch out for ISP letters to issue from Cox, Frontier and others over the next few months.
