Mr Steele could lose his licence to practice if the allegations against him are held up. He and former partners in a firm called Prenda Law, now disbanded, traced the people who downloaded copyrighted pornographic films with specialist software. They then subpoened the names of people at the addresses, according to the charges. The people were threatened with public exposure and fines of up to US$150,000. Other lawyers say that no cases were ever pursued but that Mr Steele would settle cases for as little as $4,000.
