Imagine you’ve illegally downloaded porn and were then contacted by a firm of lawyers who said that they were going to take you to court and charge you with $150,000.

However, you could make the case disappear if you paid them $4,000 – less than the cost of hiring a defence lawyer. Would you do it?

But wait. What if, you were tricked into downloading that porn illegally and were now being hussled to pay? What if you never downloaded any porn at all but the public shame alone was enough to make you pay?

This is the story of the Porn Pirating Layers: Prenda Law LLC.
