Aylo Awarded $2.1M in Copyright Infringement Case

LOS ANGELES — A U.S. district judge in California has awarded Aylo Premium $2,157,000 in a copyright infringement case against three people named as operators of a website that hosted full, streamable versions of the company’s content.

Judge Mark C. Scarsi ruled on Friday that Amrit Kumar, Lizette Lundberg and Emilie Brunn, who allegedly run the site Good Porn and several mirror sites, have no rights to the content now owned by Aylo Premium, which was known at the beginning of the lawsuit as MG Premium.

Kumar had controversially introduced in his legal filings a supposed “bilateral agreement” that he claimed gave him permission to stream copyrighted content from Brazzers and other Aylo-owned studios.

Scarsi also ruled that Kumar must pay statutory damages to the plaintiff of more than $2 million, and that he and his co-defendants must pay $46,740 for the plaintiff’s attorneys fees.

Battleship Stance’s Jason Tucker, who consulted on the case for Aylo, told XBIZ that the Kumar case stands out to him as one of the most peculiar he has ever been involved in.

“It’s far from concluded,” Tucker said. “The Defendant flagrantly exhibits full-length movies without proper licenses and ignores takedown notices. In response to legal action, Amrit Kumar made the audacious claim of owning the entire past and future library of movies and images belonging to Aylo Premium, citing a ridiculous ‘agreement’ as justification.”

The judge previously ruled that the document introduced by Kumar to justify his refusal to stop streaming Aylo’s content “lacks any indicia of reliability or authenticity.”

Tucker stressed that Friday’s ruling only marks a partial victory in the strange case.

“We remain steadfast in our commitment to assist our client in upholding this judgment and stopping the unauthorized use of Aylo’s intellectual property,” he concluded. “We anticipate additional filings will be needed to fully execute the judgment and for the damages sought.”
