1/ plant and seed selected torrents

3/ go to court, apply for an NPO which forces ISP to hand over account holders details
4/ send very aggressive letters to account holder, threatening eternal damnation if "demanded" sum of money not paid
5/ repeat endlessly...
A very clever and simple money making scheme dressed up as "infringement"
I am sure I do not need to point out that with such a simple "plan" many many corners have been cut evidentially, but hey ho people pay up anyway..

When you look at it, It's such a simple system they have to extract large amounts of money by legal blackmail. However what shocks me the most is that those that act as the governing body of these so called law firms don't want to do any thing about these conman giving them a bad name.
