Aylo Wins $10M Federal Lawsuit Against PornXP for Copyright Infringement

Adult content company Aylo wins a lawsuit against PornXP, accused of stealing content from premium studios. The court orders the operator to pay over $10M.

Aylo, the parent company of Pornhub.com, has won a federal lawsuit against the ownership group behind PornXP, a controversial adult tube website accused of stealing content from premium studios and pay sites.

Background on the Lawsuit

The lawsuit was filed by Aylo's attorneys in July 2025, alleging that PornXP had pirated thousands of full-length scenes from Aylo's premium brands, including Brazzers, Mofos, Twistys, and Digital Playground. The complaint noted that PornXP owns over 30 domain names and hosts tens of thousands of infringing web pages.

Aylo claimed to have sent approximately 680,000 DMCA takedown notices to PornXP, all of which were ignored. An additional 2.1 million DMCA requests were submitted to Google and other search engines to remove links to infringing content. Aylo identified 2,040 copyrighted works pirated on PornXP across tens of thousands of URLs.

Previous Court Rulings

In December 2025, another judge for the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington ruled in favor of Aylo in a separate case against Alex Abdullaev and John Does 1-20. The complaint alleged that the defendants were trafficking tens of thousands of pirated works, including 2,040 registered works owned by Aylo, across dozens of domain names.

On January 15, 2026, U.S. District Court Judge Benjamin Settle ordered the operator of PornXP to pay over $10 million to Aylo, including the transfer of ownership of dozens of domain names from popular registries like Porkbun, NameSilo, and Netim.

Recent Developments

In a separate case, Aylo won another major piracy lawsuit on January 26, 2026. Judge Kymberly K. Evanson granted Aylo's motion for default judgment in Aylo Premium Ltd v. Popravkin Anton after the defendant failed to respond to the suit.

Aylo sought $15,000 in statutory damages per work infringed, but the court awarded $10,000 per infringed work, describing this as "in line with awards in similar cases." The total award comes to slightly more than $90 million in statutory damages, plus $19,360 in attorney's fees and $990 in costs.
