Ooh, get you.
a) no blaze of glory, I just think blackmailing people for profit with no agenda at all for stopping piracy is bad. You, Robbie and Paul Markham think it is good.
b) I asked Robbie if he was doing blackmail letters, so I was interested to learn his approach.
c) I am not wondering why I am on ignore. I am pointing out it is a rather ridiculous stance to take when someone points out why you are wrong about something.

Nothing to do with the article. Have you not read it yet either?
I think sending someone that pays the bill of an IP address demanding money to settle is blackmail. I've thought that since Davenport Lyons tried it on in the UK.
I think courts will too, which is why a) not a single case I know of has actually gone to court and b) there are judges that are not stupid that have realised it is blackmail.

Far from being a saviour of the world, I am trying to make people actually READ the article, realise the company involved are nothing but money grabbing cunts by READING the emails from them that are online, then coming to the ONLY decision any sane human can, namely that blackmailing IP address for money is wrong.
I am yet to see anyone in this thread present an arguement that says "hiring a company to knowingly extort and blackmail for profit with no interest in stopping piracy is good because..."
Feel free to finish the sentence.
