You have your position, I have mine - we'll have to agree to disagree, but in any case this did make me laugh out loud.

In case anyone wonders of my stance,
I'm all for fighting piracy but this way is NOT the way. I understand copyright holders seeing it as a way of fighting back, and probably 90% of those IPs are guilty, but jeeese, what the fuck happened until innocent until proven guilty.

Blackmail is not that. And porn copyright holders sending out these emails is tantamount to
just that. We all know in the eyes of the average joe, pornography is taboo and that many a divorce would happen if Mrs X knew about Mr X's fetishes... hence these letters getting sent out are blackmail and shit scum like ACS:Law are pure thugs praying on this as a source of income from their clients.

More shameful is if some of those clients are thinking the same way rather than genuinely believing it is combating piracy....
