ANNUAL REMINDER: Pursuant to Local Rule 3.2 (Notification of Affiliates), any nongovernmental party, other than an individual or sole proprietorship, must file a statement identifying all its affiliates known to the party after diligent review or, if the party has identified no affiliates, then a statement reflecting that fact must be filed. An affiliate is defined as follows: any entity or individual owning, directly or indirectly (through ownership of one or more other entities), 5% or more of a party. The statement is to be electronically filed as a PDF in conjunction with entering the affiliates in CM/ECF as prompted. As a reminder to counsel, parties must supplement their statements of affiliates within thirty (30) days of any change in the information previously reported. This minute order is being issued to all counsel of record to remind counsel of their obligation to provide updated information as to additional affiliates if such updating is necessary. If counsel has any questions regarding this process, this LINK will provide additional information. Signed by the Honorable Virginia M. Kendall on 12/31/2025: Mailed notice.

ORDER Granting Expedited Discovery and Electronic Service of Process. Signed by the Honorable April M. Perry on 11/12/2025. Mailed notice. (jcc,)

MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: Plaintiff's motions for Expedited Discovery [17] and Electronic Service of Process [18] are granted. Electronic service of process does not violate any treaty and is consistent with due process because it is an effective way to communicate with an online marketplace defendant. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify defendant. Because electronic service is being permitted, Plaintiff is directed to effectuate that service within 30 days or to file a status report with the Court within 30 days explaining why it is unable to do so. The Court strikes the motion hearing set for 11/18/2025. Enter order. Mailed notice. (jcc,)

Amended Complaint

ATTORNEY Appearance for Plaintiff Legend Pictures, LLC by Ann Marie Sullivan (Sullivan, Ann Marie)

MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: Plaintiff's Motion to Seal 9 is granted. It appearing that the case filed is a "Schedule A" case, Plaintiff is directed to the Court's standing order on its website directing the filing of the Court's Schedule A Template within 14 days. Upon review of the complaint, the Court sua sponte raises the propriety under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 20(a)(2) of joining 77 defendants to this action. See, e.g, Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182 (N.D. Ill. 2020). Plaintiff is reminded that "[c]ourts in this district generally agree that alleging that multiple defendants have infringed on the same copyright in the same way does not create the substantial evidentiary overlap required to find a similar transaction or occurrence." See Roadget Bus. Pte. Ltd. v. Individuals, Corps, Ltd. Liab. Companies, Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, No. 23-cv-17036, 2024 WL 1858592, at *6 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 29, 2024) (collecting cases). Plaintiff should also reference this Court's opinion in Zaful v. Schedule A Defs., 24-cv-11111, Doc. 12 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 10, 2025), where the Court expressed its views on joinder. By 10/29/2025, Plaintiff must file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder in light of the principles described above, discussing why each of the defendants is properly joined to all of the others. In the alternative, Plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint by 10/29/2025 with a smaller subset of defendants along with a memorandum explaining why each defendant is properly joined to all of the others. Mailed notice. (jcc,)
