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

[D_arkTrooper]

Or how about The One Show?

[mr.ton]

Yep...The One Show/Newspapers or whoever? the more the merrier

[pridewat]

have been in touch with SRA yesterday about my complaint and they have told me that there are a lot of complaints about ACS law and they are dealing with them and i will hear from them within next two weeks.

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

 

which department in newspaper you write to? or just write to editor?

[mr.ton]

I would ring up these newspapers first & ask someone how you would go about it/who you would need to speak to etc.....

[babybear39]

Write to the features editor.

Just out of interest has this firm actually isssued any proceedings yet?

[mr.ton]

Good that its mentioned on BBC.

Now for the newspapers

[cashins]

Just out of interest has this firm actually isssued any proceedings yet?

 

Not as far as I am aware and I am not convinced that they actually will either.

 

I strongly suspect they have already made a pile from people that have just 'coughed up', legal action would cost money and attract more adverse publicity.

 

As Davenport Lyons underwent metamorphosis into ACS, (some of the staff concerned anyway), I think the same process will occur again when it gets to hot.

Could you post a copy of the letter that you sent them so we can see exactly what you did admit to.

 

Incidentally you need to remove anything that may identify you - ACS have been known to read these threads

[nutcake]

it just gets worse i dont have a copy of the letter but i admited to downloading it!

[babybear39]

Did you download it?

Yeah...do not pay them a penny & let them take you to court (which they wont), even if so - you'll just pay £1 per month if need be

[nutcake]

kinda i butchered one off the internet so it sounded profesional but i did state i downloaded the file but also stated i did not share it and that i have deleted it

 

@mr.ton

so you recommend doing nothing at all just ignore this latest letter rejecting my offer?

[babybear39]

This more and more looks like an ilegal [problem]

[mr.ton]

@mr.ton

ABSOLUTELY = 100% = WITHOUT SHADOW OF DOUBT

 

Just because they have been to court to obtain IP addresses, does not give them any authority whatsoever to obtain money out of you.

Only a court can do that, via a process etc...

So let them take you to court (at cost to them & which they wont) and even so, just repay £1 per month after all your outgoings are catered for.

[mr.ton]

This more and more looks like an ilegal [problem]

 

Theyve been to a court..so its legal enough - the only dodgy part of all this, is the money issue.

Its for the court system to say how much you must pay & when etc..not ACS:Law.

[babybear39]

I'm at risk of comiting defamation so will be careful with my comment...No harm intended but I wouldn't have thought that the artists concerened had that many fans, or people that would admit it

[mr.ton]

It would be interesting to know if "Scooter" themselves have took any legal advice on this issue?

Cant be helpful to them having their name used in this way by some rogue law firm

[babybear39]

Maybe they had to get publicity this way...JOKE!

[nutcake]

so you say i should just ignore the letters and do nothing? even though i have admitted to downloading the file?

[babybear39]

Offer to pay the cost of the CD

[mr.ton]

So what if you did admit it....forget it now & just ignore until such time as you ever step foot in a county court building or hear from an actual court itself, which i suspect will not be a day soon
