Stop threatening and extorting people over exaggerated claims and distortions from the music industry.

You cannot prove that anyone you are suing had distributed even one unit of product to another person who is not covered by “fair use” or “fair dealing” exemptions.

You cannot accurately state the degree of infringement (in most cases it is equivalent to LESS than one unit of one product – ACTUAL losses totalling between £1 and £20 per infringement in most cases).

Losses can be projected at zero (because many people wouldn’t have bought it anyway!) just as much as they can be projected to meet your wild, inflated figures based on the assumption that every downloader would buy a product if they couldn’t get the junk for free.

The connection owner isn’t necessarily the infringer. The infringement could be due to authorised or unauthorised use of the defendants internet connection or by many people authorised to use that connection.

Without a court order, you cannot force compliance to any of your demands and so people are quite within their right to state they know nothing about the infringement, that there are many people who could be the infringer and that they are not willing to provide details of all people using their connection as it’s a breach of privacy if not supported by the aforementioned court order.

This means your threats are usually difficult to enforce, can be seen as a waste of court’s time for the infitecimal degree of the infringement and will often be a waste of time if consumers are tech-savvy and know your limitations (compared to your over-exaggerated claims of authority… such as is typical with DCAs)

ACS:Law, you’ll temporarily ruin a few people’s lives, scare others senseless and harass many more, all based on scant evidence…

You’re not doing it for right vs wrong… nor to protect anyone… you’re doing it for one thing and one thing only… MAFIAA money.

ACS:Law, there is no doubt…

you are wankers!

SUE DUMBASSES!!

its 2010 and we still have morons that dont understand the internet..

you would think this would stop after a while..

ACS:LAW please kill yourselves, your wasting oxygen. k thnx bai

IMO calling ACS:Law “a bunch of wankers” is an opinion, is it not?

Or are they saying that they never masturbate? Are they freaks or something?

ACS:Law have been making news headlines damaging to their reputation ever since they started sending out thousands of threatening letters to alleged file-sharers in the UK. Now they are threatening to sue Slyck.com, one of the Internet’s oldest file-…

When he’s not busy wanking off record label execs, he strips naked, crouches on the floor, looks upwards, opens his mouth and invites the rain of semen that comes along with the Bukake sessions he enjoys partaking in on a daily basis.

He’s just a disgusting pervert, calling him a wanker is tame in relation to his many, sick, warped perversions.

Stroke of genius if you ask me…

…See, Andrew, you *can’t* prove a negative (you wanker)

job done.

But since they seem to have shut up after the EFF fired back at them, maybe there is no need for the “Wank Plan Goes Wrong” story to be spread via torrents. Besides, something like this is better mirrored on as many blogs as possible.

ACS:Law, go and do something worthwhile with your time, such as investigating paedophiles and other such people. Oh wait, that would be too difficult for the likes of you, so you go after vulnerable people with no way to defend themselves instead. For this, you will always remain wankers in my eyes.

Said by In Hiding:

“ACS:Law wank law firm wank Andrew J. Crossley wank Principal Solicitor wank Terence Tsang wank Five Point Plan wank Copyright Enforcement wank Defamatory statements wank ACS:Wank wank Andrew J. Wankley wank Principal Wanker wank Wank Firm wank Five Point Wank wank Terence Twank wank WANK:Law wank Wankyew J. Wankley wank Five Wank Plan wank Intellectual Wankright Enforcement wank Dewankatory statements wank Legal wankuments wank wank wank wank wank wank WANK! ”

This of course assumes that Crossley and Tsang have something to wank with. Which it is obvious that they do not.

the point is standing up for freedom of speech. If no one did this, the internet would look like this .

Disinformation Tactics Methods Used 2 Keep U Quiet

and you would probably be paying a fee for every website you visit,etc along with 1984 (watch the movie or audiobook) state where your every move is watched. Privacy has to be upheld.

The UK laws regarding libel are the worst in the world, severely affecting free speech.

9 out of 10 of such trials are won by those claiming their reputation has been afected, and then those accused have to pay the huge trial costs (think more than one million UK pounds).

Many UK journalists are afraid to criticize people or businesses, especially large corporations, out of fear of being sued, because after losing such a trial they will be in debt until the end of their lives.

You can vote here http://www.libelreform.org/sign to have the law changed, allowing more free speech.

You can even vote if you are outside UK, since the rich and powerful the world over started practicing libel turism, bringing any defamation trials to London, where they are almost certain to win.

I can just see these greedy bastards trying to sue everyone who downloads/seeds it.

But of course, it does have everything to do with the information that you can gather from those postings….

I think they need to get their heads out of their Ass’s and look at reality if they put their heads together and come up with a plan with the film and music industry and ban all iilegal downloading sites and give us the same were we subscribe to a legal downloading site with unlimited downloads and get the quility in films that we want also choose single songs instead of albums with a bag of crap on them when we may only like a couple of songs from that album etc etc…

Go the right way around it rather than the wrong way like fine’in people without the proof (Not guilty till proven gilty i say)

ACS – asshats, cocksuckers, shitheads

but seriously folks, in order to be a wanker, don’t you need certain useful equipment? And we all know these asshats are useless!

in legal terms, isn’t that a MOOT point or something?

Anal Crack Screwers:Little Ass Wankers

Still, what is worrisome here is the attempt against free speech. Will this be one of the tools the media industry will use to try to silence the voices against them and their nonsensical crusade against file sharing?

Read the article at Slyck news and I’m glad they can’t push that forward. At least the lobby cannot go against free speech in the US.

Fine. We are going to do the job for them but it’s not going to be pretty.

Sue me faggots.

Congratulations on encountering the Streisand Effect.

Firms that listen to it’s public (consumer) is Sony. If sony offered to it’s customers/consumers a £30gbp (Great British Pound)subscription fee per month for unlimited downloads and cut out the middle man it would end up reaping in the profits direct, and would end up being a trillionaire company instead of a multi billionaire company.

Copyright people won’t like the sound of that (Tough to them). Torrents would end up dying out in the long run has music,film,games and software etc would come cheaper direct from the main man/company etc instead of the middle man.

Sony has started renting films and letting customers buy films on their ps3 website after listening to their customers.

ACS will lose the battle for copyright people and that’s a fact.
