Yes, indeed. But with a car crash, you know the other person was actually involved in a crime. In this case, there is no evidence. Which is why these cases NEVER go to trial.

Seeing as none of these blackmail cases have gone to trial, please link me to your source for your totally made up 95% nonsense. I could do with a laugh.

There were many lawyers doing that. In the UK and USA.

The court would look down on them for not having a shred of evidence, not a lack of pre-litigation letter. Which is why none of these cases have gone to court.

Really? So you think the EFF are pirates? You think newspapers are pirates? You think judges that rule these blackmail letters are a scam are pirates?

The people that 'moan' about the blackmail scam are people that think blackmail scams are bad.

Really? Couldn't people just stop paying blackmail lawyer scam artists to stop sending out blackmail scam letters?
