Reply with a denial in your own words. There are example letters on www beingthreatened dot com

I havn't been in receipt of a GM letter. However I believe they work with the same digital rights company digiprotect so the 'evidence' is highly likely to be the same as ACS law's evidence which has never stood up in UK court and has been thrown out of several european courts. So will that stand up in UK court? Many experts in Intellectual Property including one of the UK's top QC's Roger Wyand believe it won't stand up in court and this is echoed by the ISPA and other experts in this field. It looks like GM are testing the water at the moment, i.e. sending two thousand mailshot letters. If they get a good response (i.e. 10-15% pay up) they may send a load more out just like ACS did more than a year ago. If they get lots of negative publicity they might just change their direction on this speculative invoicing operation as they have other clients (unlike ACS who have nothing to loose!). Once you get many negative responses on the internet it tends too stick for around for a very long time. It also doesn't help future public relations and effects clients in other areas of their business. Do you really think Ministry of Sound would really like the negative publicity of this type of scheme going to court and potentially loosing? If GM take this to court then they would have to disclose how their 'evidence' works. Once they do this and potentially loose, the whole scheme collapses and this whole ludicrous situtation comes to an end. I should imagine there would be many a top IP lawyer willing to take on GM/ACS in this case. GM may seem slightly more professional and 'determined' but It's looks like the same payup or else model that ACS target people with. Personally I wouldn't bother sending a 3rd letter, you've sent 2 letters already and denied. You've responded to the pre action protocol. Why bother wasting postage and time sending another one, for them to reply and bully you more?

The letters are designed to frighten you into paying and a small percentage of people do just that. Also when your anxious and stressed this all seems worse than it actually is. Let's put things into perspective. 1. Thousands of people have been sent these letters. In ACS's case upto 50,000 (and these are still being sent out). You are not alone! 2. Are you likely to be singled out for court action when they can make easy money from the 10% of people who pay up straight away? Are they interested in court action when all experts who count agree this wouldn't stand up? Can they be bothered with the expense of taking you to court and then losing and paying your court fees? Will their evidence stand up? Will they be laughed out of court? If they did start taking people to court why not go for the easy picks, i.e. the people who don't respond to letters or admit guilt but don't pay? Are you likely to be singled out from all the thousands of people who have denied the allegations? Have one man band ACS law really got the resource and inclination to take 40,000 people to court especially as I'm sure there is plenty of other hassles coming their way involving an SDT to contest and a possible group claim for harrasement. Do these law firms really want all the potential negaive publicity with court cases? You have to get this into perspective and see these models for what they really are. Try not to worry, I know I did at first but the more you read and research about the companies involved, the practices, the law and the 'evidence' then you start feeling a whole lot better.
