It looks like Masterfile is off to an early start this year. Masterfile filed two fresh lawsuits this week to launch 2016. I haven't gone into Pacer yet but a Google search reveals that these are two medical practices. I guess Masterfile figures that brick and mortar doctor offices should have money to cough up and pay copyright infringement claims.
Interestingly, I don't know either one of these doctors. In fact, since these were only filed the last 2 days, they will likely get served by next week and I am sure they will be very unhappy when that time comes.
Normally, we find out lawsuits after the victims do. But I am certain the victims don't yet know they are going to be served very soon.

Masterfile Corporation v. Sheila Addison
Filed: January 19, 2016 as 4:2016cv00293
Cause Of Action: Copyright Infringement
Court: Ninth Circuit › California › California Northern District Court
Masterfile filed 3 lawsuits in 2015. January isn't over and they have already filed 2 lawsuits. It should be interesting to see how many they will file in 2016.
