Not asking you to. I'd have no sympathy for a proven thief. I'm asking why you think it's admirable to blackmail a person who pays for an IP. You're not stupid, you know that it's easy to spoof an IP, and that WEP can be cracked in 10 minutes with free software. You know, deep down, that this is just a scam for porn failures to try and make some money. Ben's 10 year old tragic content isn't selling, he is in need of money, so he is trying a blackmail scam that has resulted in previous lawyers that did it being struck off. Why do you think they were struck off? Oh yes, because they are despicable cunts.

Yes, it is legal for the moment, but it is blackmail. Interesting you are in favour of such cunty tactics to raise money.

They won't go to court, because they need proof to go to court, do you not get it? It's just a scam to extort money. It's nothing to do with stopping piracy. It is to do with trying to get £700 out of people they have no idea if they committed a crime.

And that is exactly where you are wrong. The problem with this scam, and why ACS Law and all the copycats in America got shut down for doing the scam is that there is no proof that the John Doe they try and blackmail actually DID any crime.

That is why the scam has been shut down by UK judges and US judges too. People that understand you need that pesky thing, what is it? Oh yes, proof.

It's brave you wear your feelings about this scam on your sleeve though. Speaks volumes about your business practises.
