Not sure who you mean about working for solicitors, but a great guide for writing your LOD is Being Threatened?
-
harbs, consensus here is you do reply with a letter of denial, as it is, unfortunately, a legimate letter you have received
-
Did you get any idea (no matter how rough) of how much they charge to make ACS go away?
-
Just been musing: I wonder if ACS would actually bring an individual who had prepared a defence to court: it would be a huge gamble for them, as a successful defence would set a precedent and the golden-goose would truly be slaughtered (i.e. they would not be able to harvest cash via threatening individuals). I wonder if we could counter sue, i.e someone put themselves forward and our community contribute to a warchest to cover legal fees, to get the Crossley into a court room and get this evience tested once and for all. Just musing, but Crossley is one brief, there are thousands of people in our boat. The law works both ways.

Whether she downloaded the file or not (and actually, I think the claim is for uploading the files in question) the claimant will have to prove that she did. IMO this a scattergun duck shoot, and justice, the rights and wrongs of filesharing etc. are not an issue. As you say, she is unaware of her personally sharing this file, so she could proceed with an LOD with a clear consicence. And even if she is telling porkies, she would ot be commiting a crime, there is no oath involved.

My friend, you don't have to prove anything, the onus is on the claimant to prove you have damaged them by your actions. Until we see a case actually defended in court, we won't know how this will all pan out, but remember, whether civil or criminal court, in the UK your innocent until proven guilty

Been reading some posts guys, and I'm pretty mangled due to vodka and ACS freaking me out, but BBC Watchdog.. might be a two edged sword. I mean, everyone of us has DLed something, otherwise it would be "HOW DARE THEY" This is about privacy and, more importantly, being caught. DAMN! THEY GOT ME! Its also about some schmuck solicitor being a goddamn jerk, which is the crux of the matter. As far as I know, my neighbour has hacked my crappy router using rainbow tables and I thank god Mr Crossley has alerted me to it before the guy goes to the REALLY dark side. As for £495 and his really ****tily photocopied court papers with the names and dates crossed out..... Andy, can you whistle? Just put those lips together......

First Post: hi forum Got my first letter from ACS Let's pretend the following: I am (for the sake of narrative, this is fiction) guilty of DLing the 'movie' mentioned. I also uploaded it at 10kbs for maybe 2 days. I called my ISP (in this fictinal world, O2) and they refused to comment on the case, so obviousy (is this was reality, which is it not, mr. Crossey) the briefs have been in contact with my ISP. I am a computer illiterate; i don't know what a router password is, hell, i don't know what a router is. No one told me I would be liable for neighbours/war drivers when I signed up to my webby net contract What is a bittorrent? Do you have a mac address relating a nic? Do you have me in possession of said nic with that mac? See you in court mr Crossley. Obviously all make believe on my part
