So no cost to him, if he is legal and above board. And the possibility of a benefit.

Something isn't quite right here.

He was vehemently opposed to sending out letter to pirates. With the threat of going to court or settling out of court.

Did anyone here his voiced raised when Acacia were sending out similar letters to law abiding firms? I don't remember his posts, maybe he would like to show them to us. Seems strange one form of blackmail he has little to say on and the other a lot. Whats the difference?

As he doesn't own a site, Acacia won't come after hi. As he's not a pirate and clever enough to stop others leeching off his Wi Fi, he's not going to get a letter from a lawyer accusing him wrongly of being a pirate.

Something isn't quite right here.

If it smells fishy, it's a good chance it is fishy.
Shut up you fucking tool, you're an embarrassment to the thread.
