    • Speaking of the reformatory boys, here they are with all of their supporters, some of whom traveled with them from miles away, all carefully crammed together and photographed to look like there were more than about 80 .. rather like Farages last rally with even fewer people crammed around what looked like an ice cream van or mobile tea bar ... Although a number in the crowd apparently thought they were at a vintage car rally as they appeared to be chanting 'crank-her'. A vintage Bentley must be out of view.   Is this all there is? Its less than the Tory candidate. - shut up and smile while they get a camera angle that looks better

    • Now that is an interesting article which adds afew perspective that I hadn't thought significant - but on reflection of the perspectives offered ... Now Starmer is no Blair, however 'blairite he may be perceived, but the Tories aren't tories and aren't even remotely liberal   The fast 'unannounced and unexpected election call from sunack may well be explained by the opinion linked that he hoped reform would be unprepared and effectively call a chunk of Farages largely empty bluster - making him look even more of a prat, leave scope for attacks on shabby reform candidates and mimimise core vote losses to reform - while throwing the 'middle ground' (relative) tories TO THE DOGS - and with the added bonus of likely pacifying his missu' desire to jogg off to sunny cal tout suite somewhat   thumb in the air - I expect about 140ish tory seats, but can hope for under a hundred Reform - got to admit the outside possibility of 1, maybe 2 seats with about 8% of the vote - but unlikely. I think projections of over 10% of the vote for reform is nudged and paid for speculation - but possible with the expected massive drives from Russian, Chinese and far right social media bot and troll prods targeting the gullible.
    • Commentary June 2024 WWW.ELECTORALCALCULUS.CO.UK Interesting article about just how bad it could be for the Tories.  Also Tories could be hoping on Reform not having candidates in many seats, as they were not ready.  
    • Even a Piers Morgan is an improvement and a gutless Farage Piers Morgan calls for second Brexit referendum WWW.THELONDONECONOMIC.COM Piers Morgan and Nigel Farage have faced off over Brexit and a second referendum in a heated reunion on BBC Question Time.   “Why don’t we have another referendum about Brexit?” he questioned. “I seem to remember when 2016 came around we were told there was going to be control of our borders and it was going to be economically beneficial to this country. And eight years later we have lost complete control of our borders… and economically it seems to have been a wilful act of self-harm.”   ... Piers missed off : after all somebody said a 48/52 decision would be "unfinished business" by a long way - was that person just bul lying (again)

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

I won't be using ipfw(8) at all as this is monitoring a copy of all

the packets flowing through a core switch on a span/rmon 'ed switch

port.

As I say I can only they a copy of these hosts' traffic over an

rmon/span 'ed (Cisco terms) switch port.

[nic1] is connected to above switch port and and is bpf ing all the

the packets (promisc) and [nic2] has it's own ip address and connected

to a normal switch port, hence can send and receive data. ie talk to A

or B

bpf is reading all the incoming packets coming to [nic1] off.

Does anyone know how safe VPN tuneling software is for P2P file sharing, such Torrent Privacy, would is protect you from ‘digiprotect’. When you down load a file you never know what it really is, or if it’s copyrighted until it’s too late. Has anyone received an invoice from ACS-Law when using VPN software?

File sharing is not illegal, unless your're downloading copyrighted materail. Much of the P2P material is not copyrighted. My point is how do you protect yourself from accidently downloading copyrighted material? For the record I'm would never condone breaking copyright infringment, and indeed I am falsely accused of this activity, most probably because my IP address has been exposed in legal activities on P2P sites.

Good point and apologies for jumping to conclusions :-|

 

The best rule of thumb I guess is if you are in doubt, don't download until you are 100% sure.

 

Most of the torrent sites carry non-copyrighted material as the copyright has expired (Laurel & Hardy, three Stooges, Living Doll by Cliff Richard for example) and it's safe to download these items.

 

ACS aren't in that arena though and appear to be concentrating on porn and obscure acts such as Scooter.

 

VPN is a good way to go as the VPN IP address is targeted in the event of a claim by ACS and not your personal one. In the unlikely event of ACS or others wanting to make a claim, the VPN gets targeted and not you.

 

Most VPNs encrypt their traffic and do not keep logs anyway.

Thanks for these comments, I really should have explained my position more clearly. My P2P activity is very careful , legal & limited, and I can't understand how I recieved a 2nd invoice. ACS must have linked my IP address by error. The only safe way is not to be in the P2P environent.

Wakaday,

 

There are many ways that you have received an invoice claim and it most likely has nothing to do with your legal P2P activities.

 

IP addresses are recycled by ISPs, illegal downloaders spoof their IPs so innocent people carry the can, the ISP or ACS may have made an error, someone may have hacked your internet connection, etc, etc.

 

Carry on legally downloading and don't give into the bullies.

They appear to only be concerned with P2P so far, but who knows. It's a lucrative business for them (£1,000,000 monies claimed in 12 Months for which they will probably take the lions share of).

 

Others will surely jump on the bandwagon soon (TBI tried) where the rewards outweigh the negative publicity.

 

The thing is the first you hear about it is some Months are the alledged offence, so where as streaming in the UK appears to be untouched someone could be looking at it right now.

Ref: acshunter's post above,

 

Their "forensic experts" dont look too professional do they?! More to the point when did they stop using logistep and why?

 

wakaday,

 

I don't think it matters what you do, the deciding factor on if you get a letter or not seems to be based on not much more than luck!

Hi All ,

 

While i was at work last week werecived our first suggesting that a pornographic film had been d/loaded using our connection in her panic my wife emailed acs law and offered a repayment plan to them. Upon returning from work and reading up on Acs Law i fired off a LOD safe in the knowledge i had done nothing of the sort. Today i have recived another letter accepting the repayment plan. What are my options now as i tend to belive that they will accept this plan as a addmission of guilt :-|

Does ACS's activity concern only P2P sites? Or could it concern streaming sites also?

 

P2P is being targetted because they can try to claim that uploading took place. Therefore you can probably assume that DigiDodgy and their ilk may begin to see any website that allows uploads to take place to be an easy target for monitoring and IP harvesting.

We reciived a letter from Acs:Law suggesting that a pornagraphic movie had been d/loaded on our connection last week and in a panic while i was at work my wife responed by email asking if we could repay the amount they were asking in installments. I fired of a LOD not knowing she had done this and have today recived an letter accepting the plan she offered. Will that now be taken as an obmission of guilt and im pretty much stuck in having to pay it ?

No news of the promised massive new office, but the same virtual address.

 

Reminds me of an episode of Minder when Arthur used a virtual address for His betting syndicate.

I have tried to obtain further info on the case but have been told that I do not have any rights to the information.

 

That cannot be correct as there is no criminal investigation in place / someone please correct me if i am wrong.

Just out of curiosity I went to The Law Society website and looked up ACS:Law and Andrew Crossley and look what results I got back. Strangely enough when this started I did the same and got a different result. Has anyone heard from them recently or is this just a coincidence. :lol:

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??)
