Of course. Lightspeed, Hustler etc all think it won't go the same way. ACS law ran this scam for years and years. Started with video game piracy, then the bad PR made all their clients drop them. Look up Virgin Interactive and a game Pinball Dreams. Then movie studios, who also dropped them cos of bad PR. They had no one left, so tried porn. Lasted a while, they made a bomb, but now are fucked.
In America judges are already throwing cases out. A massive bunch of Hustler ones all got thrown out of court. Judges are ruling IP addresses /= a person and the writing is on the wall, imho.
So any cunts still trying to blackmail people better do it quickly! It's that pesky "innocent until PROVEN guilty' thing.
