Re: Have you received a letter from Davenport Lyons?

It seems their security is pretty lax. If I had time I'd go to London just to check that all their wifi APs are using proper security.

Anyway, I'm not sure what I should do now. I could just copy their letter and replace my details with theirs... But that might be copyright infringement of their letter. Also, if they refuse to pay I'd be forced to call them on it and take them to court, which I'd love to do as it would either force them to loose (massive PR win) or force them to defeat their own evidence (epic legal win), but I don't have the money to do it myself.
Give em something to chuckle over their Christmas dinner, send the letter.

Seriously though, I know you're hurting over this, but your plan, in my opinion, is one of simply getting revenge. That may be reason enough, but lets look at the issue a tad more closely.

The court order they seek against the various ISP's is from evidence gathered by a third party, which is then supplied to Davenport. If your going to copy their letter they are going to know almost straight away its a fix as they would hardly seek a court order on their own IP range now would they? They could laugh at it, or they could just hang you out to dry.

If you are going to go down a different route, and claim some fictitious copyright abuse claim,you had better have the stones and the cash for a fight.

On the other hand you could do this.

Get your original case challenged the proper way, and stop trying to pee about with these people.
