Prenda blows sanctions deadline, ordered to pay an extra $1,000 per day

[Robert Krausankas (BuddhaPi)]

The four lawyers linked to the Prenda Law copyright-trolling organization were slapped with an $81,000 sanctions order, which as of today, they have missed the deadline to pay. They did make time to file a last-minute motion to delay the sanctions, which only got referred back to the judge who's angry at them in the first place: US District Judge Otis Wright.

Today Wright issued an order, predictably, denying the request by the Prenda crew for more time. The order https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Prenda.order_.164.pdf asks them to explain "why they have contravened the Court's order to pay the attorney's-fee award," which, to be precise, is $81,319.72. It also orders them to pay $1,000 "per day, per person or entity, until this attorney's-fee award is paid or a bond for the same amount is posted... Failure to comply will result in additional sanctions."

Awesome,  The courts have been getting tougher and tougher and these trolls.  I see why Getty doesn't like to sue, it could all unravel very quickly if they go after the wrong person who will fight back and show what is going on.

I have a lot of stuff I would give to the legal team if such a person (innocent infringer) were sued.
