http://torrentfreak.com/anti-piracy-lawfirm-defrauded-rightsholders-out-of-millions-150702/A lawfirm well known for its anti-piracy activities defrauded its entertainment industry clients out of millions, an investigation has found. Following an independent study by auditing company Deloitte, it's been revealed that an owner of the Johan Schlter Law Firm illegally pocketed at least $15m. A police investigation is now underway. So the lawyers that supposedly prosecuted alleged pirates turn out to be the real criminals. Colour me shocked, NOT!

At first they were legitimately going after people who download porn from torrent.
I guess this was copyrighted porn? Hard to believe that people would bother with that when you consider how easily available free porn is on the net.

and by the way, it was Gay porn.
I dont see how that is a relevant detail to what happened.

It doesn't but I read somewhere the law firm was trying to paint those 'guilty' of downloading porn in a worse light because they were not only downloading porn illegally, they were downloading gay porn illegally and hence they must had been gay which made automatically guilty, according to the law firm.

Ah ok I see now. That law firm needs to be closed down. They were. Shut down. Fined. I think (not sure) someone from it went to jail too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prenda_Law
