Is it ACS, the Journo or both that haven't got a clue wtf they are talking about?

Statements like that do wonders to enhance the cred of their "forensic computer analysis" .

Re: Have you received a letter from Davenport Lyons or ACS?

Hello all. Posting today to let you all know that you are not alone, stand strong.
I too have received a letter from ACS, and am hoping that they'll take me to court so that I can successfully defend my case and put an end to all this nonsense!
I am also active on P2PFreak forum and Slyck where you may also find people who are discussing this. IMHO the more people who know what's going on the better.
Keep digging, as our case gets stronger everyday!

Good morning all. If you've got time to read this, your day might be a little brighter. A slamming for the "we've got your IP, that's evidence" argument.

Re: Have you received a letter from Davenport Lyons or ACS?

they seem to want to persue this more than Davenport Lyons. I spoke to them yesterday and they said they had posted several lots of court papers out, i tried to explain that they couldnt possibly go to coourt on the evidence they have, as usuall they danced arround the issue. I think its a disgrace what they are doing! watch this space. Im hoping they send me the papers so i can go do court, but realisticly know that it willc never happen!

ljc, I would worry more if Davenport Lyons hadn't said something very similar two years ago. We all saw what happened then... Nothing.

So, I am here tryng to get the word out about a project of mine. I have decided it's time we got some information on these guy's monitoring methods and exactly how long it's taking for them to get the court orders & write to you. To this end, I am asking people to send me data about their infringement.

There is now a natty web form for this purpose which provides 100% anonimity. I will only be able to see the data and not who submitted it. Fill it in here.


If you don't want to use the form for some reason, then This is the info you need to send me:
  • The work you have been accused of sharing (just "porn" will do if you like)
  • What potocol
  • The date you were allegedly sharing
  • The time you were allegedly sharing
  • Who is accusing you
  • When you got the letter
  • The date of the Court order that revealed your address


Thanks. Please be as precise as you can with the timing in particular.

Send the info to me either by PM here, or via email to penumbra at beingthreatened.com. Of course, using the web form will make it much easier.

Cheers all.


Please note, although I am not registered with the ICO, any information you send me will be in the strictest confidence. The only way it will be in the public domain will be as a graph. If tables are published for any reason (they probably won't be) they will be randomised according to well established protocols and it will be utterly unlinkable to you in any way.

Re: Have you received a letter from Davenport Lyons or ACS?

People are going on about wanting to get DL or ACS into court, where as if you even remotely deny the circumstances we all know that they just won't bite..

Personally if I got the papers I would do sod all (apart from talk to a solicitor so he could be prepared) and then wait for the court papers (I presume they'd expect a no show )

But that's just me...

Any more threatening letters from dodgy legal firms?

Has anyone been getting any letters from legal firms demanding money for alleged copyright infringement lately?

They were supposed to have been doing some more recently. I'd love to know what files they claim were being shared.
