Let me guess the 9th Curcuit...
Anyway, after that bill Bush signed into law a year or so ago on tort reform, federal lawsuits have to be taken to the courts local to the defendant, meaning the MPAA/RIAA is unlikely to get a judge that they have bought and bribed.
It stopped at the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals.

I think the copyright cartel has realized that, thus their current campaign of extortion, "Pay us $3K now and we won't file a suit and ruin you with $100K+ in lawyer fees." They have basically admitted it is extortion, refusing to back down on an obviously erroneous threat for the explicitly stated reason that it might encourage others to fight.
