You keep using the word scam, at least in two posts, but this is about unlawful re-distribution of copyright protected material. I don't like this ambulance chasing method employed by solicitors any more than the next man, but the only way you may win this is by having a very good solicitor who's an expert in this area. Sadly though, this is a civil matter, so you'll have to pay for that kind of expertise.
Some good honest advice here. If you can't afford representation talk to them now, make them a reasonable offer of settlement, and for goodness sake learn from this.
Unless there is a win in the courts for the user, and such a win sets a legal president (sp?) then more and more of these letters are going to be sent, and people are going to be out of pocket for the sake of spending a few pounds on a rather poor software title.
I think its fair to say, we've just had the bill for all those so called free lunches.

well okay obviously im going to be open to opinions and what others are saying as i am trying to sort this out for myself and everyone.
BUT.....it is a scam, if you where illegally sharing you would get a warning from your isp! not anyone else as its on their service your doing this. even virgin have said themselves do not pay!
heres a few links of other forums that i have studied, and i advise you also to study as tbh i think everyone has no idea (including myself) what is happening, im just going by what my isp has told me.
