If it helps, I was due "imminent court proceedings" against me.... 2months ago. I bet this evidence is worth waiting for, I would actually like to take the time to see a case in court.

They don't. All they have is an IP address of an internet account to which they believe an infringement of their client's work has been carried out on. If you didn't do it, then you have nothing to worry about and their evidence does not and will conclusively prove that you committed the alleged offence. Only reply when you are ready (do some reading!), but make sure you reply within by the deadline.

Hi KDYPAR, Just going to be lazy and repost info for you. It should point you in the right directions and has helped a few people recently hit by these letters.
-
Just wanted to check if the domain was the same for him, just helping is all But agreed, I would call them and confirm if unsure.
-
Can you paste the email address they sent it from on here please?
-
That's my understanding, hence why they won't go to court. Judge:"Where did you get your evidence and how is it regulated?" ACS:LAW: "My buddy Terrance got some foreign freelancer off the interwebs to code us a programs that works 100% in getting nasty illegal filesharers" It just ain't going to happen guys.

And once completed for Terrance (UK IT EXPERT!) + ACS:LAW..... Feedback to the guy who conjured up the "evidence"
-
So this is how they started getting IP addresses then.......posted by Terrance Tsang (TT) way back in 2008. So much for the "evidence" ... I have quoted from their templated letters: ACS:LAW's "client" has retained forensic computer analysts (Advert above??) to search for and identify internet addresses from which our clients members' copyright works (including the Work) are being made available on so called "peer to peer" networks which are then able to be downloaded by third parties with out our clients consent or license." "The processes and methods employed by our clients IT experts (Advert above??) to produce the evidence which is then submitted to the ISP's (to get our details), has been the subject of a number of detailed investigations and reports prepared by a qualified information technology consultant including a UK expert (Terrance??)

Don't get your hopes up guys, I see both ACS:LAW and Andrew Crossley under both types of searchs
-
They are very busy dealing with all the complaints they got. Thanks for all the efforts guys, keep reading and learning how to defend yourself.

I agree with you Scooby, however I think that it's best that both approaches are put out there as neither is incorrect imo. My personal opinion, is that I think the best way of protecting yourself is to reinforce your innocence. My fear would be that a judge could look the other way and says that you simply compiled a default template letter and fired it off and ducked for cover. I would only feel comfortable with ignoring the claim letters once I had made my position very clear to them and ensured that they have no provided any other "evidence" that could implicate the allegation back to me. If anything, this would then show that they are indeed harassing, as you have made your position clear with a reasonable amount of communication and that you have also given them a fair answer of "adamantly innocent" to their initial claim. Seeing as they haven't provided any evidence other than repeating the sketchy details from the original letter of claim, they would simply have then very little against you should it progress any further. For example, they say "there has been no mistake in our identification of evidence" in their 2nd letter, I strongly believe that it's only in your best interest to reply saying that "I'm innocent as I said before, there has been a mistake". This then forces their hand to the position that they do not want to be in, which would forcing court proceedings which they would lose. Eitherway, you are right...have to be careful not to give anything else away in doing so.

I agree, but I think 3 letters to them is sufficient. I don't intend to send any more, but it's up to the you to decide whether you deem it necessary to reply. For example, I don't want people ignore future letters by not replying and being caught out by some clause or technicality. I do agree, it would be seen as harassment.
