The whole digiprotect things takes this scam to a new level, but is illegal in the US afaik, which is why the ambulance chasing lawyer cunts haven't tried it yet.

What happened was Davenport Lyons (legal team) would work with DigiProtect. Digiprotect would get CONTENT OWNING COMPANY to sign over the rights to the content to them.

They then seed it to P2P networks.

They then log which IP addresses download it and give this data to Davenport Lyons who then send out the blackmail letters.

And another one!
