JOHN DOES 1-5

Does 1 to 5: Plaintiff Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) has filed a lawsuit against you and the Court has authorized alternative service of process by electronic means, including by way of this communication. This communication constitutes formal notice to you that you have been sued and constitutes service of process of the summons available at the link below. Within 21 days after service of this summons on you (not counting the day you received it) — or 60 days if you are the United States or a United States agency, or an officer or employee of the United States described in Fed. R. Civ. P. 12 (a)(2) or (3) — you must serve on the plaintiff an answer to the attached complaint or a motion under Rule 12 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The answer or motion must be served on the plaintiff or plaintiff’s attorney, whose name and address are: Robert L. Uriarte PILLSBURY WINTHROP SHAW PITTMAN LLP, 725 S. Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90017. If you fail to respond, judgment by default may be entered against you for the relief demanded in the complaint. You also must file your answer or motion with the court. If you have questions, you should consult with your own attorney immediately.

Plaintiff[s] have sued Defendants Does 1 to 5, who are associated with the Internet domains set forth in the documents referenced in this communication. Microsoft alleges that Defendants have violated federal and state law by hosting a cybercriminal operation through these Internet domains, causing unlawful deception, unauthorized intrusion into computer systems, and intellectual property violations to the injury of Microsoft and Microsoft’s customers. Microsoft has obtained a temporary restraining order and seeks a preliminary injunction directing the registries and registrars associated with these Internet domains to take all steps necessary to transfer these Internet domains to Microsoft’s control and/or disable access to and operation of these domains, to ensure that changes or access to the Internet domains cannot be made absent a court order and that all content and material associated with these Internet domains are to be isolated and preserved pending resolution of the dispute. Microsoft seeks a final judgment and a permanent injunction, other equitable relief, and damages. Full copies of the pleading documents are available at the links below.
