I received a letter on 9/11/2010 from ACS:LAW saying that I had downloaded a movie called "UK Student House" and that I had breached the copywright of Media C.A.T Ltd. In a nutshell, it suggested I should pay them £475 to clear my name or they would take me to court. I did some research on the Web to discover that Mr Andrew J. Crossley (Who is listed as the "Principal" on their headed paper) was in fact a crook and had all kinds of previous, for bad practice and dodgy dealings. So, as a result I made the decision to carefully file the letter and ignore it. Yesterday, 17/1/2011, I received a similar kind of letter from a company called GCB LTD accusing me of the same thing. It also had a letter enclosed by the very same ACS:LAW saying that they were no longer involved in this action and that any cheques should be made to GCB LTD. Again I did some internet research and came across this site. The final and somewhat satisfying part was discovering that if you wrang the "Payment Centre" there was a message on their answer machine saying that they had changed their mind and dropped their case. I am telling all this in order to thank everyone on this site for all the hard work you have put in, I am pretty certain that it was all the threads on this site that caused them to realise that their [problem] had got a bit out of hand. Particularly "kurvaface" I am loving your work !!! If you have seen the film Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels I think you will agree that the idea behind the [problem] was very simple. Accuse someone of something embarrassing on the grounds that if they go to the Police or tell the wife they are going to look guilty or stupid. On the film I seem to remember they were selling Sex toys, taking the money and then not shipping them on the grounds that the buyer would be to ashamed to go to the Police or ask for a refund. These guys are accusing you of downloading a Porno film, breaching some nobody companies copyright and trying to get you to part with £475.00. What worries me slightly as with all these types of things is that there must be a few people out there who got these letters, immediately bottled it, and paid up. I'd love to know how many did and and if so where the money ended up ? Should we just leave it here or should we keep going for revenge ? Would be nice to get someone like Rogue Traders or Watchdog to track them down. Now that would be TV Gold !!!
