P filed a Complaint for Copyright Infringement against Lacey (D). D had utilized an online media distribution system to download or distribute copyrighted music recordings belonging to P, and/or to make such recordings available for distribution to others. P requested statutory damages, attorney's fees, and costs and injunctive relief. D was served with process on October 26, 2006. According to the server's declaration, copies of the summons and complaint were left at D's dwelling house or usual place of abode (6005 Howells Ferry Road, Mobile, AL 36618) and were given to D's son, Brad Lacey.
