Secondly, and I emphasize this clearly, it is not a scam, because if it were there wouldn't have been such large fines dished out to people by the courts, and I am not just talking about Davenport Lyons.

You want advice?.....go talk to a solicitor, we are up against the big boys now. Rights holders are bypassing the ISP's user policies because they have come out and said that they don't police the Internet, if you don't believe me go ask the head of Carphone Warehouse. Whilst the £16,000 fine against one file sharer was not a precedent (thanks forevarwar), it is certainly an eye opener, especially as the game company got a whacking share of that against the value and quality of the title shared.

There are a couple of posters here with some consumer advice experience, popper comes to mind, and having scanned through those articles, all of which I have read before at some time or another there is the possibility that some facts from those articles may help some "victims".

The truth though is simple, file sharers beware, you're going to be out of pocket.

ever had a letter toto?
