Subsequent to the courts order, Gonzales made unauthorized copies of one plaintiff’s 

registered works and distributed those copies via the Internet. In statements accompanying the 

distribution of the unauthorized copies, Defendant Gonzales wrote, “I will never stop sharing what 

I have with others.” 

Plaintiff Io Group moved this Court to issue an Order to Show Cause why an Order of 

Contempt Should not issue. Gonzales did not oppose the motion or otherwise appear. Having 

read and considered plaintiff’s papers and oral argument, 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT, Defendant Gilbert Michael Gonzales is ordered to 

appear before this Court and show cause why the Court should not issue an Order of Contempt. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT, failure to appear will result in a warrant being issued 

for defendant Gilbert Michael Gonzales’ arrest. 

SO ORDERED 

Dated:____________
