What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CO
I am being sued as a named defendant for copyright infringement. I received Summons in a Civil Action that I must respond to witin 21 days.
I need some help with my response but if your answer is to get a lawyer please do not reply to this thread.
My understanding is that the response can be as simple as this (just the meat):
ANSWER
Defendent Named Defendent asnwers the complaint as follows:
1. Denies
2. Admits
3. etc
Here are my questions:
1. The plaintiff has many points in the complaint that are not answerable. For example: 3. Plaintiff is the registered owner of the copyright...
Should I just skip these not applicable points and answer only points that are applicable, write "3. Not Applicable" or something else?
2. Together with their complaint the plaintiff also included "Exculpatory Evidence Request" where they have questions I am pretty certain I do not have to answer such as "Has a Bittorrent client been installed..."
Can I just ignore this "Exculpatory Evidence Request" or do I have to provide answers to questions in this request as well in order for my response to be legally valid?
Thanks
