Hi all

I've just read this thread from front to back and theres some good sound advice in here (amongst the heated debates

)

I've received a letter from them stating they want Â£604 damages for my sharing the game "Pinball" for the wii. I haven't and I've told them so via an email.

I also stated that I was unaware that this game was being downloaded via my IP address. I did have suspicions of who it may have been, and mentioned I will try and find out for them.

I received a new letter saying that they will grant me more time until such time as I can run my own 'investigation'. That's when I discovered this thread. I replied with:

Dear Sir/Madam

I cannot prove without doubt who was responsible for this download for the fear of getting it wrong, or even if it really did happen. For all I know it could have been via my wireless.

I do however have a solicitor helping me and he has asked me to request some information from yourselves:

1, I need a full break down of the damages you are claiming.

2, Why is this case Â£604 when other case examples are around the Â£300 mark?

3, How long was this file being shared by my IP address?

4, He needs the log from you're program showing my ip address and exactly what I was uploading and for how long. (This will also help me find who was using my pc because I'm never away from the pc for very long)

I look forward to your speedy reply

Kinds Regards

The question is, have I said too much already?
