Kentucky Woman Sues Porn Companies LItigating Against Her For Alleged Anti-Piracy

A Kentucky woman, Jennifer Barker, is suing the five companies that targeted her and is seeking class-action status to hold the companies accountable for harassing calls for settlements.

The five companies, out of California and London, have filed more than 500 lawsuits in 17 states against John and Jane Does in recent years.

Barker's attorney, Ken Henry of Louisville, who filed the lawsuit, estimated 500,000 people have been sued or gotten calls from representatives of the companies since 2007.
