In Voltage Pictures LLC v. John Doe, the Federal Court ruled that TekSavvy Solutions Inc. (TekSavvy), a non-party Internet service provider, could not recover costs related to its decision to inform 200,000 of its customers of a pending motion seeking TekSavvy customer information. The motion was brought in a class action lawsuit alleging online piracy of the movie The Hurt Locker. The Court found it was not necessary for TekSavvy to inform its customers about the pending motion with the result that TekSavvy could not recover the costs related to its voluntary decision to notify.
