The Portland Business Journal reports that the sportswear brand, along with associated corporate entities, filed a federal lawsuit today in Florida asking for action. The defendants are listed as "Does," as adidas was unable to determine who is behind the shady websites.
Adidas is asking a federal judge to order that the websites be shut down and that those behind the sites pay damages.
