Proxy/Hacked wifi etc.

You are being mistaken for Nigeria there. We are not a country of scammers. We are a country of being scammed by our goverment and the big companies

The first letter was regarding Two Worlds and Pinball. Then the 2nd said we allegedly downloaded only Two Worlds and not pinball and the last letter just mentioned Two Worlds. I shall still turn up in court if I get requested to do so. We haven’t responded to any as citizens advice just said not to and if we got summoned get a solicitor which I fully intend to do because I havent found any traces of it on any computers.

Didnt respond and havent heard anything since. It stated that I had downloaded the game in December 2006 I think.

Has anyone received more than 1 letter about Call of Juarez?

Therefore this surely means that if Logistep did indeed download the torrent files in question then they did it without authorization, and thus committed copyright infringement.

That’s something worth pointing out in a rebuttal if you get a letter. You could also make some comment about how they were profitting from this piracy.

Let’s see, they get 30,000 CDN$ and you get a crappy game. Seems fair. I would just stop enriching the games marketeers, Stop buying their products. Of course the problem with that is some gamers are so addicted to their juice, that they’d never show solidarity against manufacturers. But I would try all the same. 14 yr old boys don’t really have society on their list of priorities and as such can’t be relied upon to stick it to the man.

16 grand is probably the most profit they will ever make on that game: if they ever get it.

Seems farcical that a company can accuse you of anything they like with no credible evidence and actually win damages that are way out of line with reality.

Had someone had their arm blown off in Iraq they would probably get about 10 grand.. but for seeding Dream Pinball 3D…
