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

[mr.ton]

Another thing that amazes me about all this as well....

There are people who do far worse things in this country - like attack,rape,mug,murder people... yet the system is too afraid to touch people like that as they will have legal/human rights on their side.

Infact the system will even go out of its way to give them a new identity,new home,new job/money..new everything if need be.

You would think maybe, just maybe the likes of ACS Law would spend its time chasing the real scumbags in this country, rather than those who just happened to have downloaded a certain song/game - deliberately or not.

ACS Law will fail on this matter, no doubt about it & no-one will pay them a penny.

But im just saddened that firms like this just seem to have their priorities wrong completely.

No wonder Britain in 2009 is a crime ridden,soft touch hell hole

LOD posted. Anyone heard anything back yet ?

[HoppingMad10]

Just out of interest has anyone heard of or know about one of these letters going to a company rather than indviduals?

As i'm sure lots of file sharing goes on within companies on nice quick connections?

[mr.ton]

I think they have been too stunned by the public anger/backlash, to even know what to do now!

i dont think they will send letter to a company cos it wont be very cost effective for them in any way cos there wont be any the weak victim as individuals.

i very much hope they are. but i am sure the public pressure will work eventually

Whether they actually iniatiate court actions remains to be seen.

 

I strongly suspect however they have already made a lot of money out of this operation anyway.

This was what i suspected! and in addition i would imagine most companies larger than just a few people would have access to a solicitor or law firm who could tell them that they have no case and respond for them.

[teddylorry]

just heard back from the ICO ACS LAW HAVE BEEN ON THEIR BOOKS FROM 14 MAY 2009,if they have any of our details before this, do they have a case to answer.

[mr.ton]

I just wonder could this lot be investigated by the anti fraud authorities?

[halfords]

been worrying since got letter last week just got LOD approved by solicitor she checked out ACS and they are real lawyers. its really anoying whne you did not do it but cause its tracked to do you have no rights pay up or else but i suspect it would not end there if you do pay it.

i am sure they have .say 6000 letters they send 10% give in and that earn them £300,000 (not bad) and numbers may be more than 10%

[mr.ton]

I just hope that each & every person who has paid up takes them to court to get their money back

Unfortunately unless someone gets this in the popular press most who have paid will never realise

Each & everyone of us need to make every newspaper aware of this

Trouble is I think you'd need to be in receipt of the letter to get any impact out of it... unfortunately or fortunately I'm not a recipient.

I havent had 1 of their letters either...

But everyone who has needs to forward a copy on to the press

Need to target a paper imho and it needs to be one that picks up on consumer items regularly

[mr.ton]

One like the Daily Express or Daily Mail would be preferable for maximum impact
