So far this whole business model has relied on NPO applications going un opposed by the various ISP`s. To be fair they had the wool pulled over their eyes somewhat by assurances that the evidence against "infringers" was impeachable (need a flying pig smylie here),

however,

Once you begin to understand how this whole thing has worked so far, opposing an NPO application is simple....

ACS have openly stated in emails that capturing any IP address connected for at least a second "is good enough for us".
They were not interested in a more thorough observation of said IP address.

So....

Virgin merely need to question the authenticity of the "capture" process and further question what "checks" were made. From what we have seen (and always suspected) ACS wont have an answer and the application will fail.

....Actually if virgin were to actually turn up in court, ACS would probrably withdraw the action anyway, for fear of any sort of question being asked.

From what I can see around the various boards, all ISP`s are currently coming under severe pressure (from their customers) to actually attend court and ask questions.

....maybe the "stone" has finally started to "roll down the hill"?
