Scammer lawyler gets owned

my mate came round last week saying he had received 3 letters over the last 4 months for downloading a Ministry of Sound album on Dec 30th 2009.
He's 55, into Led Zeppelin/The Eagles, no kids in the house and he was on a cruise all christmas.
He's also never heard of torrents but gets all his iffy stuff from his Brother In Law (so he's not squeaky clean).
The last reply he sent copies of his cruise tickets/confirmation and he's heard nothing yet.

If the letters were from ACS Law then he might be in luck, it's likely they'll be shut down and bankrupt in the not too distant future. :)

Not worth starting a thread for, but my tutor at the College of Law told me an amusing and related story last week.

She was driving her car when a car pulled out infront of her resulting in a crash. The man from the other car immediately got out and started threatening legal action and telling her what the law was on the matter. In short, he was claiming it was all her fault and that she would be made to pay for the damage. She asked:

"Are you sure that's the law?"
"Yes it's the law! I'm a solicitor! Who the hell are you?"
"Really? I'm a judge"

The word pwned has never been more appropriate.

I hate these scum, a friend of mine had this happen, but she was a naive student. Not sure what happened, but if they tried it with me I'd know something was up when they start quoting laws at me immediately after an accident.
 
and on thread:

ACS Law are the absolute lowest form of scum! They have made a business out of sending out thousands of letters to alledged music thieves, demanding compensation for the licensor, threatening legal action.

But they never take anyone to court because there are enough unfortunate schmucks that will pay the extortionate demands to make it go away. I've received two letters from this company, ignored/shredded both and haven't heard a thing about either case since. Since the papers aren't serviced by anyone, there's no proof I received a thing.

Basically ACS Law are the playground bullies taking your lunch money, if you refuse they'll just move onto the next kid.

As for 4chan, yes, they acted against the law, but in this case, if any charges are brought, I hope they get a light sentence...

Not true. Although I agree they rely on guilty people coughing up they have indeed being taking people to court. It's even in the emails which got downloaded from the Law Society confirming it. They point is they have never had to win the argument as they won all their cases by default since no defence was put forward in each case.
 
Could some kind soul email me the O2 file to my trust email please?

Fancy having a gander through it.

Thanks.
 
It's not '4chan' that's doing it though, it's lots of anonymous people worldwide, they just post updates on 4chan as it's anonymous.

Actually 4chan have been quite active in deleting all threads regarding Operation Payback (IAB), as I presume they don't want to have the finger pointed at them.

A lot of the target planning and coordinating is done on IRC. Btw, I am not involved in any way shape or form, just following what 'they' are doing purely out of interest / idle curiosity.
 
Latest news from acs on torrentfreak is that crossly has admitted defeat, will be shutting up shop and going bankrupt!

Go anonymous! That's what you get!
 
ACS/Downfall parody.

It's in German (obviously) but the subtitles are quite offensive (and hilarious).


edit- Search vimeo for "oh hai", "Show me: newest", it should be the second result (black thumbnail, three days old)

That video is excellent! :D It does have swearies though, so you're not really allowed to link it. Wouldn't want to see you on your holidays. :o :(
