A company called the US Copyright Group (USCG) has filed seven lawsuits in Washington, DC, courts, naming over fourteen thousand defendants. The defendants are associated with personal computers implicated in USCG’s investigations of unauthorized movie downloads. The USCG contends that the strategy of prosecuting groups makes the most sense because each individual defendant lacks the assets and earning capacity to make individual prosecutions worthwhile financially. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) claims that USCG’s strategy deprives defendants of a fair chance to defend themselves. Because the vast majority of defendants in these cases do not live in Washington, DC—indeed, many live outside the United States—the travel and legal defense costs associated with contesting the charges are likely to be prohibitively high for them.

Answer Explanation (Official):
Evaluate:
According to the passage, the EFF argues that because the vast majority of the defendants live outside of Washington, DC, where the USCG filed the suits, the travel and legal costs for the defendants to contest the charges would be prohibitively high—depriving the defendants of a fair chance to defend themselves. In other words, the EFF objects to the fact that each of the USCG’s suits was filed in the single location of Washington, DC but names a large number of defendants in other locations. And the basis of the EFF’s objection to this is that the costs associated with contesting the charges would be high for a large number of the defendants.
