Court Enters Default vs. Defendant in Unlicensed DVD Case

The U.S. District Court for Southern Florida in West Palm Beach entered a default against Grindhouse Video for failure to answer or otherwise plead to the complaint against it within the time required by law, said a clerk’s notice Wednesday (docket 9:23-cv-80008). Grindhouse is one of about a dozen named defendants, including Amazon, Best Buy, Target and Walmart, that independent film company Redoak Communications alleges are unlawfully selling unlicensed DVD and Blu-ray copies online of the 1981 film Just Before Dawn (see 2301060023).
