It's also more convenient for a lot of the defendants to just pay up.

"A lot of people out there are paying the money because it's cheaper than getting an attorney. If you're rich enough, it's almost easier to write it off," the IT professional who was a victim of a piracy lawsuit says. "This is a cash cow, and the content trolls want to ride it out to the end."

Adam, since you are busy selling your client and perhaps tens of thousands of others out in the Guava case, would you be kind enough to tell us if the company exists, and if so what city, state, country it is domiciled in? This looks suspiciously like another Prenda offshore shell company, and the complaint conveniently fails to provide any information about this supposed company. There do not appear to be any extant Guava LLCs with a web presence that seem like likely candidates, which unusual for Prenda's clients, is it is likely to be an adult website... But an adult website without a website? That is very interesting indeed.
