Adult entertainment giant Aylo, parent company of Pornhub, Brazzers, and RedTube, has filed a sweeping federal lawsuit against the operators of PornXP, a prolific tube site accused of widespread copyright infringement. The lawsuit, lodged in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, could lead to a rare domain transfer and site-blocking order against the platform.

The suit targets over 71,000 web pages across more than 30 PornXP-related domains, alleging that they host thousands of pirated full-length scenes from Aylo’s premium brands, including Brazzers, Mofos, Twistys, and Digital Playground. One scene mentioned in the complaint stars Kimberly Kendall and originally debuted on Mofos.com.

Aylo’s legal team claims it sent approximately 680,000 DMCA takedown notices to PornXP—all ignored, according to the filing. 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.

“Defendants did not remove any content identified in the takedown notices or respond to any of Plaintiff’s DMCA takedown notices,” the complaint reads.

The site’s largest domain reportedly draws 7 million visitors a month, with 18% originating from the United States.

On June 30, U.S. District Judge Benjamin H. Settle granted Aylo’s request for early discovery, giving the company the authority to subpoena multiple registrars and privacy providers in an effort to identify the anonymous operators behind PornXP.

Those subpoena targets include GoDaddy, NameSilo, Porkbun, Spaceship, the Public Interest Registry, Privacy Protect, and Private by Design. Aylo will now seek names, addresses, IP logs, billing information, and any other identifying details related to the site’s operations.

Aylo’s lawsuit is ambitious in scope. Beyond monetary damages, the adult entertainment giant is asking the court to:

• Transfer all PornXP domain names to Aylo’s ownership;
• Order U.S.-based ISPs, search engines, and web hosts to block access to PornXP domains and IP addresses;
• Secure permanent injunctions preventing further use or monetization of the infringing sites.

If successful, the case could serve as a blueprint for future copyright enforcement efforts against similar adult piracy networks.

As of now, the unnamed defendants have not been served, and Aylo has until October to do so. All PornXP domains remain online. Whether subpoenas yield actionable data remains uncertain, particularly if domain operators are based outside the U.S. or use anonymizing services.

However, Aylo’s relentless efforts—including millions of takedown attempts and now a federal lawsuit—signal a determined push to curb piracy, protect premium content, and potentially reclaim market share lost to illicit sites.
