No problems, I just havent had any further use for the account and there have been no further replies or posts to my single topic. it is very unusual that you cant delete the account, why is that?

Hi I can see no way of deleting my account or even posts? how is this done?

Im not trying to wind anyone up, im just asking a civil question! plus It was me who created this topic?

Nothing as yet, TBH the advice I would give is totally ignore them, Its worrying and difficult to do , but dont in anyway respond or acknowledge them , once you do that they have you on the hook ! As far as the ip/mac address is concerned as far as I can see its not acceptable in court, its just a way they put the frighteners on you pretending its evidence. I haven't as yet had a letter from them. In my case they haven't done their due diligence before issuing demands for monies, so that wont bode well if they do take me to court. In saying that I haven't heard of any cases that they have actually taken to court, but quite a few people who have admitted (why you shouldn't get embroiled with them) and coughed up. To summarise I am treating it as a fishing exercise by them. Ultimately im no expert and you must decide what suits you. thinking about it, having no contact with cjch means that you dont know if they have dropped the case or have just not got round to taking it further. Is there a time limit that goes from the point at which they contact you and they have to carry it further?

well Ive just found out that they do a "maker" version of solidworks at £10 a month , I would have been happy to pay that , being as I just use it for 3d printing, if only so I didnt have to learn another software. If they had just advised that,that would be the way to go, I would have, but no they have to threaten people with multi-thousands of pounds law suits. I dare not sign up for that because im worried it might give them a way of getting to me i.e payment method.

DX thank you and I sincerly apologise for insulting you, as you had probably guessed I was stressed with it all ,and more than a bit drunk! no excuses though. You guys have put my mind at rest, and confirmed what I allready thought. Cant these people get done for demanding monies with menaces, or fraudulantly atempting to gain funds, or even harassment? Craig, Yes you are absolutly correct, I will just sit it out, I havent got money for solicitors anyway,and as I previously stated couldnt, after a brief search find a company to take it on. I think really unless you send a letter or email or they have a recording of you admiting it it seems that there is very little they can do, just rely on the fear factor! I also bet they have read this as well !!

hb no the question was not about ip numbers but mac numbers, which is there evidence, please tell me whether they have got there claws in me or not? I can understand if no one really knows the answer, just admit to it and give impartial advice, and suggestions as to what I should do, surley that is the whole point of this website Right its quite simple ive explained the situation , do I just Oh flip them off or enter into negotiation

Free advice? im not getting any here so far, just opinions, i am in what I would concider a serios situation, Ive asked for advice , its what this website prides on, and ive not recieved any

HB , I appreciate what you are sayin but likewise you asked me questions which I replyed to and you didnt reply back so whats going on?

so you dont have any qualifications, I would suggest you stfu you are just complicating matters with your "opinion" I need to hear from the big boys.....

dx do you actually have any legal qualifications? are you an expert in this type of law?

dx if I could crack software id be rich and happy, im assuming you ment to "stop using cracked software" ? right so ive just had a solicitor contact me through my website, to ask about whether we need there services, a law is us kind of company, WTF? I bet chcg are watching this site as well

the annoying thing is in the past ive instigated the sale of sw in 2 companies re my recomendation, but not in the future, now ive seen that they are quite happy to be associated with such awful business practices hi DX thanks for your help, thing is there is such conflicting advice even on this forum , is there any way I can find out about any cases they have bought before the court in the UK?

nope all numbers atarting with 192 and a very common second set of numbers. 6 numbers in total and 3 dots.... thanks for your help

HB cheers It says I have a private IP adress ?
