Sorry to disagree with you Kymmy but TBI are proceeding exactly the same as D/L and ACS

Essentially they have used an as yet unsubstantiated method to "detect" IP addresses. The accuracy of this "method" is in serious doubt (discussion of this point "done to death" elsewhere).

They have then used an NPO to obtain account holder details from the ISP - in this case BT

Finally they have sent an extremely agressive "offer to settle" letter to said account holder.

The only difference I can see is that TBI seem to be trying to outdo D/L in the agressiveness of their approach. They seem to be breaking the same pre-action protocols as all the other shy.. err ...law firms involved in this sca... err ...scheme.
Yes they seem more organised
No I do not see them going anywhere near a court

However you are correct they are still an unknown quantity (however I know which way I am placing my Bet)
