Some 23,000 U.S. citizens who downloaded an illegal copy of The Expendables will soon learn that they are being sued in what could be the largest BitTorrent downloading case in the U.S. to date.

A U.S. district judge has given the U.S. Copyright Group permission to secure the identities — including names, addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses — of those who downloaded the film from their respective Internet service providers (ISPs).

ISPs will likely notify affected clients that they are handing over their subscriber information to the Copyright Group later this week.

Each defendant faces up to $150,000 in fines, although, as Wired points out, most cases result in settlements in the $3,000 range.

Collectively, more than 140,000 U.S. citizens are involved in lawsuits around the country for downloading illegal files via BitTorrent.

guilt, when you are downloading using torrents, you are also sharing at the same time. Thus you are uploading.

If torrents are allowed in US how can they sue the users who downloaded the movie? They should sue the torrents for uploading it.

As per my knowledge this will be the stunt of the producers to give publicity to that crap movie.

WK I think this is a way of them trying to make some money out of a film that stands no way of achieving it through the normal revenue streams.
