I am drafting my first reply now, think I will mention the CDA 1988. I have until 26th May to hit the 21 day deadline so I have some time to work on it.
I have seen the draft letter in page 13 but I am a bit nervous of the "see you in court" section as it seems this Andrew Crossley is no stranger to the courts.
The daft is I once played a demo of this game about a year before the alleged "infringement" and thinking it was a bit crap.
I do remember though at one point I had to block several devices showing on my internet router's list as they did not belong to me or anyone else living here. That said there is nothing on the ACS letter that actually identifies a specific user or device.
Sorry if my post seems a bit erratic or annoying, just a bit nervous about the situation especially as I presume ACS will have learnt from Davenport Lyons.

Welcome laststand
Please do not be intimidated by these people, use the template letter, there is also a more complete version posted a few days ago. These people will try to threaten you and will continue to threaten you, don't be tempted to get into a discussion on anything eg someone may have hacked my WiFi etc etc at this stage thats for defense filing stage only (if it ever gets to that.)
These people only understand strong words, show no weakness, we need to be saying put up or shut up, this normally does the trick (eventually) especially considering they are only supposed to send a maximum of 2 letters if you still deny at this stage they should not write to you again they either should shut up or issue legal proceeding (which they have never done so far) if they continue to write they can be reported to the SRA as this is considered harassment.
Do not fear them this is what they are depending on by striking fear into people.
