EXHIBIT 1

COURT-DIRECTED NOTICE REGARDING ISSUANCE OF SUBPOENA

A subpoena has been issued directing your Internet Service Provider ("ISP") to disclose your name and address. The subpoena has been issued because you have been sued in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania as a "John Doe" by Strike 3 Holdings, LLC ("Plaintiff"). This case is identified as Strike 3 Holdings, LLC v. John Doe subscriber assigned IP address 100.6.102.233. You have been sued for using the Internet and the BitTorrent protocol to infringe copyrights. The Plaintiff has identified you only as a "John Doe" and has served a subpoena on your ISP to learn your identity. This notice is intended to inform you of some of your rights and options.

YOUR NAME HAS NOT YET BEEN DISCLOSED. YOUR NAME WILL BE DISCLOSED UNLESS YOU CHALLENGE THE SUBPOENA BY FILING A MOTION TO PREVENT DISCLOSURE.

Your name has not yet been disclosed. The Plaintiff has alleged enough information about your alleged infringement to obtain a subpoena to identify you, but no decision that you are liable for infringement has been made. You can challenge the subpoena by filing a motion to quash or vacate the subpoena twenty-one (21) days from the date of this notice. If you file a motion to quash the subpoena, your identity will not be disclosed until the motion is decided (the Plaintiff cannot proceed against you in the meantime). The Resource List below can assist you in locating an attorney to help you determine how to respond to the subpoena. If you do not file a motion to quash, your ISP will send your identification information to the Plaintiff after the expiration of the 21-day period.

OTHER ISSUES REGARDING THE LAWSUIT AGAINST YOU

Once you are named as a defendant, the Plaintiff must establish jurisdiction over you in Pennsylvania to maintain a lawsuit against you in the District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. If you do not live or work in Pennsylvania, or visit the state regularly, you may be able to challenge the court's jurisdiction over you.
