IP addresses from 10,532 Comcast subscribers, 5,239 Verizon users, 2,699 IPs on Charter, and 1,750 with Time Warner comprise the huge group of defendants.

Time Warner balked, saying that doing so would be too time consuming and would take away from other, more pressing legal issues.
Time Warner seems to be singing the same tune this time around, once again refusing to provide data for its customers that have been implicated.

What a bunch of wads!
