Episode Details

An 87-year-old Florida grandma, Harriet Lieb, is being sued for downloading porn—despite swearing she’s never even visited a porn site. The lawsuit, filed by Strike 3 Holdings, targets her IP address under a “John Doe” tactic commonly used to pressure victims into paying up quickly, especially older folks who might panic. Courts have labeled these tactics as extortion, and one judge called the company a “copyright troll” using the courts like an ATM. Though the company initially agreed to an interview before backing out, many of these cases settle fast—suggesting they’re more about quick cash than justice. Harriet stands firm, refusing to pay a dime for something she didn’t do, and vows to fight back against what she calls a wrongful accusation.
