Unemployed attorneys who are looking for work might want to start offering their services to adult film studios. In recent weeks, enterprising attorneys have filed thousands of copyright infringement suits against Bittorrent users suspected of downloading titles like Batman XXX: A Porn Parody and (forgive me) Teen Anal Nightmare 2. The attorneys earn their fees by identifying individuals via their IP addresses and sending them menacing letters demanding settlement payments of a few thousand dollars each in exchange for avoiding costly litigation and public humiliation. It doesn’t sound like the most intellectually challenging legal work, but those letters are probably sufficient to scare plenty of people into paying the money.
Paying clients are difficult to find in this economy and those student loans aren’t going to pay themselves. However, I wouldn’t be bragging about being the porn industry’s lackey to my alumni magazine, no matter how lucrative such lackeydom might be.
Never know, might lead to meeting some lovely young ladies who like wearing fishnets….
