Sounds suspiciously like a scam by lawyers. >:(
TBB (http://www.thinkbroadband.com/news/3804-the-cost-of-illegal-file-sharing.html) carry a similar story in more detail.
Thanks, Alan. :thumb:
This seems to be happening a lot at the moment, and it always seems to be Davenport Lyons who initiates it...

If just 1 or 2% pay up they are on to a winner
Just like spam and 419s really. >:(
But presumably it's not illegal.
No, you can bet on that - but that's the only difference. :(
Absolutely, Rik. The concept (i.e. just a small proportion paying) does indeed sound like spam/419 scams.

Indeed John, and they are still walking the streets, any normal person would be serving time for robbing so many.
The greedy, grabbing bas**rds.
I'll be interested to see if they're ordered to repay anything. :(
The only bars they should belong to are in Wormwood scrubs :mad: :mad:
I'd vote for Pentonville myself.
3 to 5 years seems fair :rant2:
Extremely lenient, imo, David.
OK 15 years ;D ;D
Getting better. I'm all in favour of a straight 30.
