[...] UK Lawyers Drop “Non-Viable” File-Sharing Cases Lawyers who told thousands of individuals that they held proof of their illicit file-sharing, have made a surprise announcement. ACS:Law, who help companies generate revenue from porn movie copyrights, say they are dropping many cases because litigation is neither viable nor beneficial to their clients. [...]

@Mission…

ACS don’t do the spying.

The evidence is from DigiProtect.

DigiProtect’s IP addresses have been known and blocked by the PhoenixLabs and BlueTack teams long before you’ll have even heard of them.

The anti-anti-p2p groups out there aren’t as stupid as you think, there are different ways to detect different types of nodes. If IP address “X” says it is using torrent client “Y” it should respond in a certain way to request “Z”… when something breaches this, it can be identified as an untrustworthy node.

Identifying and blocking suspicious IPs is not done simply on the name of the netblock owner.

The anti-anti-p2p groups are a bit more sophisticated than most people give them credit for.

Well, normally the government doesn’t mind useless capitalist schemes that have no purpose other than to generate money for somebody.

It’s GOOD that the House of Lords have opened their eyes for this nonsense. Perhaps one or two of the venerable Lords themselves have had a letter and “saw the light”… LOL…

But compare with the status of products that are clearly harmful but can be bought in unlimited quantities, while healthy alternatives are outlawed. (for example Aspartame vs Stevia). Or household usage of strong disinfectants that have no health benefits at all, but on the other hand contribute to creating superbugs. These types of examples show the power of industry lobbyists, even in Britain.

“…we feel we are succeeding in demonstrating that the fight against internet piracy is winnable, and will we will continue this pursuit into the next decade.”

Lol, they still actually believe that?
