Tell them that you are still waiting to see any evidence they have so that you can investigate further. Be clear that if they want you to investigate, they will be charged at £100 per hour for your time. Ask them to agree to this in writing if they wish you to investigate.
Once more, state that you do not share the file, and that you did not authorise anyone else to share it, and that they have still not provided any evidence or identified any individual who may have infringed their client's copyright. |
This is pretty disgusting. I'm actually quite horrified at this.
Davenport Lyons' clients should really do their own investigation, seeing as they are the forensic experts. DL have no place in becoming some kind of police force and asking you to do their clients' work for them. Furthermore, this is showing exactly how weak their method of IP fishing is.
Note, that in the past when asked for more evidence off Davenport Lyons, they have merely replied "we feel we have given you enough evidence" which it is worth considering writing in reply. Cook1984 has hit the nail on the head, It should be enough that you have denied you have done it and you have not authorised anyone else to do it. Davenport Lyons do not even accuse you - just your connection.
If you like, you could invite them over to your house to shout at your phone socket until £500 drops out. It would achieve the same thing.
