Time Warner Cable is busy. So busy in fact that the US Copyright Group will only get 28 of thousands of IPs it wants from the Cable Operator related to two bulk P2P lawsuits.
Suing tens of thousands of alleged peer-to-peer file-swappers is a no-brainer for movie industry lawyers - provided that cable operators like Time Warner Cable cooperate. But Time Warner Cable isn't cooperating. The company says that it just doesn't have the time to look up thousands of names when it has more pressing matters to deal with - like more important requests from law enforcement.
Time Warner Cable asked with the federal judge overseeing several of the P2P cases brought this year by the US Copyright Group, saying that it averages 567 IP lookup requests per month, most from law enforcement. The company added that it was nearly impossible to turn around more than 1,000 requests in a timely fashion without compromising affecting more important requests from law enforcement. For that reason, TWC requested that the judge limit subpoena lookups for the US Copyright Group to 28 per month.
