For a long time it was said that the new breed of Hang um high and lets makes lots of money copyright firms were using evidence they knew was incorrect, Well it looks like those accused by the money grabbing gits were not the only ones thinking that.

Quote:
Anti-piracy lawyers 'knowingly targeted the innocent', says law body
Quote:
A major law firm knew it sometimes had no reliable evidence of unlawful filesharing when it demanded hundreds of pounds damages from internet users, according to the solicitors' watchdog.

London-based Davenport Lyons threatened thousands of people with legal action for alleged copyright infringement between 2006 and 2009. They were told that by quickly paying around £500 damages, plus costs, they could avoid court.
Quote:
Following complaints to the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), Davenport Lyons now stands accused of deliberately ignoring concerns over the standard of its evidence. It matched IP addresses captured from movie and videogame BitTorrent swarms with customer records obtained from ISPs by court order.

Isn`t that extortion or demanding money with menace?

Depends which side of the Law fence you are i suppose.

To quote that page

Quote:
In a submission to the Tribunal, the SRA says: "Each of the respondents knew that in conducting generic campaigns against those identified as IP holders whose IP numeric had been used for downloading or uploading of material that they might in such generic campaigns be targeting people innocent of any copyright breach."
Quote:
The pair are also accused of acting in the interests of Davenport Lyons, rather than those of their copyright-holding clients. They sent 6,113 demands for money and were "regarding the scheme which they were operating as a revenue-generating scheme", according to the SRA.

well if i read it right, there were a couple who were defaulted.........but the judge didn't give anything and basically told acs to twaddle off nicely :D

Quote:
Another amusing bit is that the judge noted how odd it was that in the requested injunctions with the lawsuits, the injunction was not to have the individuals stop infringing on those copyrights -- which is the standard request. Of course, that seems to be a rather straightforward admission that ACS:Law isn't trying to reduce infringement at all. Either way, the judge rejected all of the requests for default judgment. This is pretty stunning, because getting default judgments often seems like it's only a formality. And ACS:Law couldn't even do that right...
:rofl:

I have been following this debacle for over 3 years.....

I still think that the slippery little shyster has more bullets left to fire....

.....remember once you have trodden in it, it can be very difficult to get it off your shoes, even if it is gold plated

Pity it's only County Court level so not legally binding for other cases but the Judge brought up some great points

Quote:
Judge Birss also expressed strong doubts about ACS:Law's claims.

Firstly, he questioned whether the law firm could even really represent the owners of copyright – only the owner or a licensee has the right to pursue such a case.

Secondly, he said it was uncertain that the owner of an unsecured Wi-Fi connection could be held responsible for any copyright infringement that might take place over that connection.

Thirdly, he questioned the accusation that possessing such an insecure internet connection was the same as "allowing" copyright infringement. The term used in the act is "authorising".
