Movie Company Files Federal Piracy Suit Against Tri-State Man
Defendant Argues Someone Else Tapped Into Wireless Network

BLUE ASH, Ohio -- A DVD that retails for $21.99 could cost a local man more
than $100,000, News 5's John London reported. 

Russell Lee is either a slick film pirate or an unwitting victim of someone
who fits that description. 

Paramount, which distributes "Coach Carter," presents an unflattering
picture of him, saying he not only obtained the movie illegally, but that he
uploaded it to an online system called eDonkey so others could steal it,
too. 

"I don't even know what they're talking about," Lee said. "I didn't do it." 
 
Paramount has looked at all four computers in Lee's home, alleging he had
one of them cleaned to erase evidence. The company has filed a federal
lawsuit against the Blue Ash man. 

But Lee claims that because his wireless connection was unsecured at the
time, anyone could have parked near or in front of his home, tapped in and
then driven off.
