anti piracy fuckers are on my ass
    #14067032 - 03/04/11 03:54 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

I just got a thing in the mail saying I owe $2900 for something I apparently downloaded in november last year.  I checked the dates given on it and found no files from that date, meaning I obviously deleted them.  they are asking for a $2900 settlement otherwise they'll serve a complaint and commence litigation.  now $2900 seems fucking insane for a $30 movie or whatever, so I've no clue what to do.  I don't have $3k and I dunno what I could do to lower that without having to go to court, which I don't want to do either.  anyone?

Its a scam trying to bully you.  You would hear from law enforcement before you hear from a law firm demanding settlement.

I knew someone who got sued by some record company for thousands of dollars because she downloaded a couple hundred songs. :nonono:

I know with music if it's a legitimate copyright infringement they will sent you a cease and dessist letter before any legal action and if you don't your open for an ass reaming. Seems a little silly their coming after end users you would think they would go after whoever uploaded the file for download. Could be a scam do some research on who it's coming from, the first thing I would check is their business number I know in Australia we have business number register on a govenment site and if their not on it it's a scam!

the law firm sent the notice.  for some porn I apparently downloaded except for the fact that I don't download porn.  redtube ftw.  so basically I downloaded something that was titled as something else and was deleted after realizing it was the wrong thing.    it also says that deleting any of the files is illegal etc blah blah blah.  but I don't have any of them so wtf.

It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus.
All year long, the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter, while the
octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV.
But then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns.
Also he got a race car.
Is any of this getting through to you?

not necessarily. law enforcement or a PI could have conducted there investigation and never contacted him.

but i still think it's a scam. was the letter certified? if it is you would have to sign for it. in most states legal papers need to be mailed via certified letter or served by a sheriff.

does it have the name of a law firm or the DA on it? if it does not it's a scam. if it does, google the law firm, check the website and call other law firms in the area to find out if they are for real. lawyers always hang out together and they will know how for real they are. (when you talk to a law firm, don't admit to any illegal downloading) someone could make up a fake law firm/website for such a scam.

if it's from the DA (which i highly doubt, they don't have time to deal with this shit) call the DA's office and find out how for real it is.

apparently reading through this:
http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1135832
he's getting subpeonas without court permission, so its all bullshit, looks like.  plus I don't think he's won a single case yet.  simply not acknowledging it appears to make it go away.  sounds simple.  I'd like to be certain, though, so if anyone wants to help me get through some of this crap, I'd be really appreciative.

This is right.

this is a bullying technique there is no planned law suit, they send out 1,000,000 or so letters to people who fit the profile, high end broadband customers and flagged as high end users by their ISP.

Most of us laugh our asses off and ignore the letter, if 1000 out of 1,000,000 cough up whatever they are asking then the law firm has just made 1000 X however much they asked for!!!! in your case just over 3K so they just made 300K
