ACS:Law copyright file sharing claims, Gallant Macmillan - and probably some others along the way...

[eagleeyedsniper]

Looking at the document there is no evidence to suggest that a 0-10 point system is used. It is more likely that things are scored out of 5 or even 3.

 

1 = No

2 = Maybe

3 = Yes

 

A scale from 1 to 10 would be impossible to score accurately don't you think?

Well this comes from the Google translator version of the 2nd link given.

 

"Finally, there is an overall assessment for the implementation of an action. These values are given on a scale 1 to 10 Ten stands for "Action Guaranteed" to zero for "at rest". All values in between indicate such trends."

It was bound to happen at some time.

 

Alledged leaked documents have started to surface on the internet around this whole practice. (edit), documents on Wikileaks.

They call it "Project Office Boy" That's probably who thought it up

[cashins]

Not a suprise really, other companies use a points system (Marlin for one) to assess the likelyhood of success in taking legal action.

 

Probably a bit of a blunt tool but mabey better than going eeni meeni.....

 

Downfall of all scoring systems is that it's only as good as the info given.

 

In DL & ACS cases if you deny it flat and tell them to burger orf they don't have a lot to go on. A flat denial will only indicate that you are no pushover and would probably defend. OK the points system might well say forget it but would only tell them what they already know ie, if someone defends, the action will fail.

 

Not exactly rocket science.

yep see you in prison soon.. baggsey i get the top bunk if were sharing cells lol

[jpts33]

I wonder how many of these 30000 new claims will be 'new people'. I wouldn't be surprised if many of them will be a further claim to people who have maybe already paid up or have given no response to the first claim.....?????Maybe we should prepare ourselves for a second or more claim. As far as the ISP's are concerned I think a mass switch should happen to kick these people in the teeth, as it seems they put up no fight for their customers in Court, nor do they have the decency to write to ALL their customers who's details have been handed over. The ISP's have the money and lawyers to fight these ridiculous claims, they should be our first target I say - switch to a different ISP as soon as possible, that's my answer to BT.

[halfords]

with acs law and the goverment messing the laws up give it 2 years and the internet will be shut down!!

 

soon acs law will wrongly accuse someone in the goverment/family for file sharing it will get sorted then i bet

[cerberusalert]

I can't wait for them to accuse Ann Widdecombe.

[mazza47]

I too received a letter being accused of copyright infringement and like you all was freaked by it. At first i disregarded it as i thought it was a [problem]. When i got a 'part 36' I have since went to my local mp who has been absolutely fantastic. He has written to acs law and the law society for england alerting them to this unjust action. If you are in a trade union they sometimes allow you to have a free 1/2 hour advice from a solicitor. I since then, i have heard nothing from them so everday i keep my fingers crossed that i do not hear from them again. Try not to panic, but do advise that you are pro-active in preserving your innocence. I also wrote to the WHICH magazing and they too have asked me to take part in a campaign to highlight this attrocity that people are being subjected to. Good luck to you all.

Any one know what was in the new NPO's for acs law?

new "accusation" letters to be sent out in Jan 2010

 

S.

[Yorky2008]

Some lovely quotes in the BBC article..

 

A lawyer who has defended people who have received similar letters described it as a "scattergun approach" which would catch "innocent people".

 

ACS:Law said it was "unaware" of anyone that had been wrongly sent a letter.

 

Really? Are you not reading your mail?

 

ACS: Law are "currently under investigation" by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), but a spokesperson said it could not divulge any more details about the nature of the complaints. The Law Society has also received complaints.

 

Mr Crossley said his firm had been targeted by an "internet campaign" and was cooperating with the inquiries.

 

"It doesn't of itself indicate that I have done anything wrong," he said. "I have no qualms or concerns about what I am doing."

 

 

In addition, technology exists that can hide or "spoof" an IP address.

 

Mr Crossley said that "spoofing" did not apply for file sharing purposes.

 

Ahem, does he know something no one else does?

 

Although Mr Crossley admitted the software had never been analysed in court, he denied it had never been scrutinised.

 

By who?

 

The report was compiled by "an independent expert" and confirmed that the "data being collected is accurate".

 

"That is the starting point for us," said Mr Crossley. "It is very important for us to be accurate. If it is not, everything that comes from that data must be flawed."

 

And finally he admits why he does not want a single case to ever make it as far as a courtroom.....

[cerberusalert]

I wonder if their Forensic Expert is as well qualified and trustworthy as this guy? LINKY

Took some time to write to my MP tonight especialy when relating to madlesons new proposals as legal scams ( or is that too strong a term ? ) like this will pop up all over soon and proposals such as his ( and imho on the whole correct bar the disconnect thing ) will be getting a massive public back lash.... no doubt starting with the jan 15k....

Hi can i ask for a list of all ISP who have rolled over and given our IDs out to this ACS-law so i can avoid to re-new my contract with all spineless ISP. Tiscali/Talk-Talk, BT, Virgin, are the few i have on my list of avoidables, can any m8s add to this please? and i would also like to invite all CAGs to add to my campaign im sick of reading about us having to fight our own little corner, if one ISP took action against ACS this would come to a end as quick as it started BUT they havent, if they lose 30.000 customers they have lost lots of £££££££££. The only ISP what i havent hurd of rolling over is AOL is this true? THANKS.

[halfords]

AOL is carphone warehouse.

 

When i win the lottery the 1st thing i will do is chase ACS Law and hit them hard. who the hell can fight them with a solicitors letter starting at £250!!

 

I thought carphone warehouse was gonna fight the NPO's.
