TBH it's been months since this all happened.

OK so you won in the High Court to get the addresses of the alleged infringes. The problem was the letters saying pay up or see you in court and the law firm published the data of these people online.

Because of this you ended up back in court were a judge quashed most of the cases and demanded that you reword the letters not asking for money.

The law firm you used to do all this has been barred from practicing law for 2 years and fined £76,000 since they clearly broke the law themselves.

Now my problem, is that you are a relatively big player in our small porn economy here in the UK. You are being threatened by the likes of Killergram whose content is far superior to your own.

You business model was heavily reliant on VHS, DVDs and broadcasting. All of which is censored in the UK with the exception of the R18 which can only be bought in person and is therefore useless. You also never made the transition online and stuck to shooting in the UK instead of moving to Eastern Europe. The UK is the worst country to shoot in because only fucking horrible ugly bitches shoot porn here. There are exceptions but even our creme de la creme like Saraha Knite have fucked up teeth and wouldn't be given the time of day with US shooters (if she wasn't South Asian).

So now you aren't making the money you used to. This ain't 1999 anymore! So you decide on a new tactic. Instead of pulling your socks up and building your brand, you decide to destroy it and milk the maybe the last 100k out of it by blackmailing and working with shady legal practices.

I guess it's the way the industry has gone here, which is a shame.
