Also at Pepipoo... "UKPC leaves the back door open".

What a bunch of wazzers, they are the laughing stock of the world but are too thick to realise it.

Hi folks,

This company still send me regular invoices despite me entering my reg number in the stores visitor log book and electronic system whenever I work in a Tesco store. I think the count is over 20. I have a template letter set up on computer with just the dates of alleged transgression blank.

Should be good.

As an aside though, I wonder if UKPC will be going after the MSE and Pepipoo members who openly admit downloading the photos and linking from UKPC as well as the forum owners?

I see MSE have pulled the incriminating thread, but another one is still running.

Nutsville appear to be taking a different stance, and still have the photos up.

Must be taking some legal advice different to that on MSE.

I don't think the photos were password protected, only the extranet section was "protected". This from the Nutsville blog:-

 

The images we used in our blog post were not obtained from any forum, and neither were the images we used behind any form of username/password protection, not even a silly password such as ‘test’.

UKCP aren't claiming they were, they are claiming they were obtained without legal authority.

They weren't in any link, it may not have been password protected, but it wasn't in the public domain.

Lynnzer on MSE managed to download about 5000, (Lymmzer claims) ianderson on pepipoo ran a script (reported on Pepipoo) to display the images belonging to UKPC linked through his own website.

 

Be interesting to see how Nutsville are managing to display images clearly lifted from another site, and as they have already admitted they didn't come from any other forum, it'll be interesting to see where they obtained them from, as it only leaves one place, and it'll be more interesting where the ones on Nutsville are hosted, and what permissions the owners have given them to display them in the public domain.

 

I'll give them credit though, whois shows the site owner, it seems to be a private individual, not a ltd company, and he wants to take them on, (or at least someone does in his name, who has authority to control the site), so there must be money behind him, as UKPC will be throwing it into the ring.

You are claiming they were "password protected" . You said so in post #4.

[peanutsallergy]

I'm claiming nothing.

UKPC and the downloaders can have their day in court to claim and counter claim.

Consider the offending post amended by post #6, and I've removed the text from post #4.

Well past the 4.00pm deadline, so I guess UKPC are folding, and Nutsville win over MSE.

At least Nutsville have the balls to stand up and be counted.

Maybe the feeling over on MSE is correct, and they're in BPA's pocket, as some posters have said.

B P Collins & Co's M Brandis represented me once.

 

The outside claim against me fizzled out so there was no chance to see his real effectiveness - other than to render fees.

 

The only letters I saw that he had written 'representing' me appeared to be almost verbatim my comments to him.

 

But don't let this distract from the current situation. I watch with interest.

[peanutsallergy]

Well, seems to have fizzled out here as well.

No updates on Nutsville, but nothing taken down either.

[peanutsallergy]

Anyone know what happened?

 

Still there, but equally bizarre, no new input from Nutsville on their own website for a month now.

Not only is the article still there , but they have now published this :- http://nutsville.com/?p=4209

 

This tells a few home truths about the private parking "industry". Read and enjoy! That includes those PPC employees who monitor these forums.

I think that should be compulsory reading for every one.
