I accept defeat. File sharing is awesome and I was wrongly manipulated by disinformation organizations like RIAA to believe that it isn&#039;t so. From now on I shall be a devout pirate and fight for the people and their rights to pirate.

		<description>Hi,
All this letters witch are send from ACS-SH.. are scam. I was have one of them and i can tell you that nothing happen. Just stay calm and replay on letter. They never taked no one to court, becuase they dont have strong case and it is waste of time for them. They wont money from scared people who are willing to pay to move from them and finish the story.</description>

		<description>Just hoping for a law (i am not in UK so not specifically UK) that you don&#039;t have to respond to those kind of letters at all. And if you do, you can send them the bill of your time,stamps,ink letters and travel expenses to the nearest place you can send your letter. 

It might even be usefull to make this kind of obvious mix of blackmail and a scam illegal.

If you&#039;re unlucky you would need to defend yourself against multiple accusations (not specifically filesharing ), and you would need to study and write a letter to all of those claimers just to denying it.</description>

		<description>&quot;The point of arguing with a troll is not to convince the troll they are wrong but to convince the audience that the troll is wrong and have no real understanding of the subject.&quot;

I quote this from another site where raisin tard/neo.stooge was posting his usual drivel.</description>

		<description>Some may want to take the other road.

Jamendo
magnatune
opsound.org
opensourcemusic.com
CC Mixers
VODO
freesound.org
archive.org

and others enforce liberal licenses the way to win and be able to say it in the face of copytards is to change how you consume media.

If it doesn&#039;t have a free license then the artist or company is not serious about your rights.

For music, books and software there is no need to go the &quot;copyright&quot; way people can just choose the &quot;copyleft&quot; way and there is nothing those people can do about it except cry.

Movies and tV is another story there is not much open initiatives yet but they will come.

People should really start using copyleft and help bring it to the main stream that way the &quot;famous&quot; will be those that give you something and the industry will be forced to follow.

More using copyleft you are stating clearly what your rights means to you and legal consequences are greatly diminished as you can go to any court and show without fear that you did indeed try in good faith not to do anything unlawful.

No need for VPN&#039;s that could cost you something, only encryption would be good enough to maintain privacy and no fear from people looking at what you are doing.

You want to fight it back use their own weapons against them force them to choose a liberal license by means of market demand and that means you got to choose what you consume and should be careful of what you choose.

Using copycrap stuff you are empowering the other side position, using copyleft you are empowering yourself and the community.

Will it stop people trying to sue you?
Nope, they will fight to the end, but copyleft give you the power of the law while copycrap flips you.

Have anybody anymore websites for copyleft stuff?

I don&#039;t fear the RIAA because I don&#039;t use their crap and they can try and sue me I will just challenge them in court to prove I did anything wrong with absolute confidence that even if my computer is sized the only thing they will find inside is public domain, CC Commons sharealike, copyleft and GPL stuff that they can&#039;t say its infringing anything.</description>

		<description>No point in debating with the trolls (reasoned mind, neostyles, et al)

They&#039;ve been proven wrong from time to time. They don&#039;t want to admit defeat.

They do have a narrow mind. One download = one loss sales is utter babble.

You won&#039;t compare one singles CD cost = one iTunes track cost. Even though iTunes are pricey (for us working-class citizens), iTunes a lot cheaper than a CD.</description>

Why are you trolling other threads when you &lt;a href=&quot;http://torrentfreak.com/oink-was-started-to-improve-elliss-programming-skills-100112/#comment-633067&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;still have arguments to face&lt;/a&gt;? Why are you blatantly ignoring legit points made against you and continuing to post the same drivel in thread after thread?

Whatever. Troll.

&lt;blockquote&gt;This stuff is real. People are losing jobs and money. Our economy is going down the drain.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Cite. Now.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Predictably, people only care about the consumers. What should we do about them?&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Legalize noncommercial infringement and stop criminalizing the public.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Well gee.. I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that it has caused millions of dollars in losses?&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Fact?&lt;/b&gt;

Do you see why you&#039;re such a troll? Because you throw around unfounded shit in order to deceive people. If it&#039;s a &quot;fact&quot; that p2p causes millions in losses, &lt;b&gt;PROVE IT!!&lt;/b&gt;

But you can&#039;t because it&#039;s not true!

&lt;b&gt;OBVIOUS TROLL IS OBVIOUS.&lt;/b&gt;</description>

		<description>Dear Sir/Madam
                            I am writing in reply to your letter of claim dated ------- stating that my connection was Used in an infringement of copyright, using peer to peer networks which allegedly. Occurred on the date ------- and concerns the work “----------” (“the work”).

I note that I am not personally being accused of the infringement, as you have no evidence to this effect.
                                                                                                                   Nevertheless, I categorically deny any offence under sections 16(1) (d) and 20 of the CDPA 1988. I have never possessed a copy of the work in any form, nor have I distributed it, nor have I authorized anyone else to distribute it using my internet connection. I note that section 16(2) of the act requires a person to either directly infringe copyright, or authorize someone else to do so. I have done neither, and you have not provided any evidence of my doing so. As such I cannot and will not sign the undertakings as provided by you.
                                                                            As you seem to be perfectly aware, it is impossible to link an IP address to a particular person or computer without further detailed analysis, which requires a level of expertise I do not possess. Furthermore the delay in your sending of a letter of claim precludes any such analysis. In your letter you state that “it is unlikely that a simple denial (without further explanation) will change our view of the circumstances”, unfortunately I do not have the expertise to provide a detailed explanation. As such I can only conclude that I have been a victim of foul play

I would be interested to hear you legal basis for attempting to do so. As on Thursday November 19th2009 at the Royal Courts of Justice in London before Chief Master Winegarten at it was stated by Andrew Crossley for ACS: Law. “That ACS law was not suggesting that the recipient is definitely guilty in all cases, but the Internet account holder who receives the letter could perhaps help them to identify the person who had actually carried out the infringement”.
                                                                                                           Please inform your clients that if they wish to pursue this matter, I will seek to recover all my costs to the maximum permitted by the Civil Procedure Rules
                                                                     The signature of the undersigned confirms the statement provided to be accurate and legally binding under the terms required by       pre-action protocol in civil law.

		<description>I read that document and I do not think there is much useful advice there, tbh. And the book is structured in a very weird way, very confusing.
The letter template is pretty good, of course, but apart from it, the rest seems a bit out of context. Like &quot;Stop that Business&quot;, &quot;Make people aware&quot;, etc. I don&#039;t think if a person gets a threat letter he will care about such global issues like stopping this business and whatnot. Not at that moment anyway.</description>

		<description>neostyles, how much do actors and actresses get in one film? say will smith? jennifer aniston?

do you think they need more money? are they losing out to file-sharers? are they unemployed? are they walking rather than take the bus or train to work to save few coins? do they have no food on their table?

if they decided to come back down to earth and earn a (proper) living, say 1 million for 5 or 10 years movie deal, do you think that is fair?

99.99 percent of the world population would agree. Heck we the majority got 30k a year we&#039;ll be content.

greed is the driving force for this industry.

obvious troll is obvious.</description>

The fat cats are getting fatter. The industry is making profits. Artist are well off too. Earnings are more than enough  to feeding a poor country for a day, week, month or even a year.

Don&#039;t give us that &quot;losing jobs and money&quot; rubbish.

If they&#039;re losing jobs there&#039;s loads of other jobs out there! Believe me there is! Just check the local press, internet, job centres, etc.

If they keep losing so much money and so many employees then why oh why do these entertainment industries keep breaking box office records year after year?

How can you be for real saying people are losing their jobs whilst it&#039;s ok to pay the Tom Hanks four million?

Their is something seriously wrong with the way it is all run but lets bury our heads hey and target the vulnerable.

Things are changing my friend because the consumer is sick of being ripped off by these extortionists.  It&#039;s the people who have the power!</description>

		<description>What #14 said is really troubling.  Perhaps someone should go find a city office building with a wireless internet connection and gladly use it to download their torrents.  Then the city would be guilty of copyright infringement. :D</description>

		<description>This is their 5 point plan as per their website:


STEP 1 : THE SCORE

Introduce fixed fines of £750.00 minimum
Introduce statutory damages of £750.00 as a minimum for each act of copyright infringement (such provision exists presently in the United States);

STEP 2: THE MARK

ISPs to provide names of internet account holders
Make all Internet Service Providers produce, on request of a copyright owner or licensee, the identities of the account holders of the internet connection used for illegal file sharing of their copyrighted material. The cost of producing such information would be met by the copyright owner requesting it;

STEP 3: THE CON

Strict liability for internet account holders
Make the account holder of the internet connection strictly liable for infringements where their connection was used for illegal file sharing

STEP 4: THE STICK

Simplify the court process
Streamline, simplify and speed up the court process of a copyright owner applying for the identities of the account holders from ISPs (this is presently a complex and time-consuming procedure); and


Standardise letters of claim and court documents
Secure approval and consensus for standard-form letters, documents and claims making the process of notification and prosecution of an identified infringement clear and easy to understand, with the presumption of innocence until guilt is proven.</description>

		<description>It always amazes me how people can be so oblivious about what&#039;s going on.  &quot;There are many legal uses of P2p&quot;  Uhm, great?  How many people do you think actually use P2P legally?  One percent?    This stuff is real. People are losing jobs and money.  Our economy is going down the drain.

Predictably, people only care about the consumers.  What should we do about them?  How about the copyright holders who have been losing money for over a decade now?  What about them? 

&lt;blockquote&gt;P2P is often publicized in a negative context.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Well gee.. I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that it has caused millions of dollars in losses?

I guess illegal filesharing has just been around so long, no one has ever stopped to wonder if it&#039;s wrong or not... And now people are actually trying to convince other people that it&#039;s right.</description>

		<description>If as it indeed appears to be the case that Digiprotect/Video Protection Alliance, etc. are intentionally uploading honeypot torrents in order for companies like ACS:Law to profit from extorting people, it would behoove torrent site operators to take down that crap as soon as it is posted.

Certainly any private site with attentive admins are going to do all they can to prevent such honeypot torrents from even appearing in the first place.

The same cannot be said about large public sites, especially The Pirate Bay. I would be very careful about downloading anything from there, what with the status of the site&#039;s ownership in question since the failed GGF takeover bid.</description>

&quot;They probably leak the content themselves&quot;
Actually, they do, and have admitted it publicly. Which is even more outrageous. They get a licence for various media, torrent it, and record the i.p. addresses.</description>

I use it in conjunction with a free program called &#039;peerblock&#039; which updates its own antiP2P lists daily. Don&#039;t take chances, use protection.</description>
