read carefully section(i) it sais wilfully infringes copyright.....

if alleged infringment took place without our knowledge or consent(unsecured wifi,hackers etc) how can it be wilfull?

Basically, yup. This is the whole reason their campaign is gibberish.

There is no legal authority for holding someone responsible for copyright infringement they weren't even aware of. They can certainly try but would almost certainly fail expensively.

Although, the section of the act that particular link deals with is in the criminal section of the act - which isn't what they accuse you of breaking. The wilful bit refers to 107(2A) and 198(1A) of the act which deal with people actually selling copies of he work, or infringing to such an extent they "affect prejudicially" the copyright owner (for instance they share it so much and so wildly that they can't sell any copies themselves, or the illegal distributor becomes the sole source). This is a civil case, so the wilful doesn't necessarily apply. You still need to actually accuse a person of the infringement at some point to take them to court, however.

A handy (unofficial) updated version of the CDPA 1988 is published by the IPO and is published here. It incorporates all of the european and other amendments such as the SI 2003/2498 you linked to.

Ok, just emailed three lawyer friends, one of them a QC, to see if they know the best person to take up this fight. Waiting for replies.

jj26 · #**335** (**permalink**) 05-12-2009, 03:40 PM

yes i agree, one person to represent us as a group. we will wait for beingscammed to receive a replay from his fellow lawyers.

Sounds like a plan. I do believe that ACS law will be checking these posts quite regular as their website keeps changing but not much they can do about the information we are all gathering.

I would like to know the amount of people who has actually paid up even though they have been wrongfully accused..

Thank You for keeping us all up to date especially posts from gettingscammed, and saywhat,

sam786 · #**337** (**permalink**) 05-12-2009, 04:42 PM

Tried to email techland who are the owners of "Call of Juarez" but guess what? the email bounced back, tried a couple of times but no luck.

BTW for all those taking their exams this week, GOOD LUCK

Oh and also, I contacted David Lammy, was going to run the letter by you guys but I sent it first.

Here it is, you can tell me what I did wrong now it is to late lol

Dear Sir

I read with interest a comment you made in an interview with The Times regarding filesharing in the UK, you are quoted as saying "Mr Lammy, said that there was a big difference between organised counterfeiting gangs and “younger people not quite buying into the system”. He said: “We can't have a system where we're talking about arresting teenagers in their bedrooms. People can rent a room in an hotel and leave with a bar of soap - there's a big difference between leaving with a bar of soap and leaving with the television.”

I would like to bring your attention to a very disturbing new trend, I received a letter from a Solicitor called ACS:LAW accusing me of sharing a file, a game in fact called the "Call of Juarez", they said that they had "Forensic" proof that I had shared this file and that I had to pay them £565 or face a court appearance whereby I could be sued for "Significantly" more.

Until I received this letter I had not even heard of this game let alone shared it. In the letter ACS:LAW state that they had been passed the information by a company called "Logistep" and they had recorded my IP Address and had gone to the High Court to obtain a Court order forcing my ISP to release my private information so they could contact me. My ISP Virgin Media did this without informing me they had.

I was very distressed as I cant afford to pay the fine nor can I afford to pay a solicitor to defend me. I contacted the Law Society who confirmed that ACS:LAW are indeed a legitimate company, I did this as I believed at first it was a scam. I have contacted the Information Officer in charge of the Data Protection Register who informed me that ACS:LAW are NOT registered with them.

There is a LOT of things not right about this case Mr Lammy, an IP Address is NOT proof of a crime. Information regarding IP addresses can surely only be obtained in Criminal cases whereas I am being pursued through the Civil Court. This letter sent to me and thousands of others borders on blackmail.

ACS:LAW are using EXACTLY the same methods and even letter formats that a company called Davenport Lyons used a few years ago and which were described at the time by Which? Magazine and other consumer groups as “Bullying”. Davenport Lyons are at this time still under investigation by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) for their methods.

It seems that to date although thousands of these letters have been sent out to people the evidence claimed by ACS:LAW and before them Davenport Lyons has actually been tested in a Court of Law, as they rely on people paying to avoid going to Court.

I would urge you to investigate this company and what it is doing.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours Sincerely

As I have said on MY letter the IP is indeed my IP I just dispute the fact I know ANYTHING of this game! Never heard of it and never downloaded it. How I stand as far as I do NOT have wireless and MY IP is STATIC I dont know, but either way I didnt do it!
