ACS-Law leaked emails

To whom it concerns, Over the past years, we have borne witness to a technological revolution. The individual has become free, in the most extreme anarchistic sense, to share ideas. Some of these ideas are shared behind proxies, darknets, or similar "closed doors". Nevertheless, the ideas are out there. There have been similar instances of such revolutions of the mind. Their effects on society are inestimably great. As in past times with the invention of the printing press, so it is today that the people embrace this revolution, this new "anarchy" of freedom to share, while their autocratic rulers seek to crush this freedom. In spite of censorship in the form of copyright law and other restrictions, the people have succeeded in distributing content to the poor, the underprivileged and the oppressed. The most numerous pirates are Chinese, as content filters restrict a vast amount of information in their country. Pirates are also numerous among the poor, as this demographic cannot afford things like college books or entertainment. Indeed, while often ignored by those interested only in bread and circuses, a vast amount of educational literature is available to the everyday pirate online. Piracy democratizes knowledge and makes education affordable. History repeats itself. There was a time when powers that be attempted to silence the printing press, the blank cassette and the recordable CD. All of these previous attempts at censorship have failed, and future attempts of this nature are doomed to failure. Indeed, the sequestration of human knowledge for the benefit of extremist capitalism is treason against the whole of humanity. All should have the right to listen to a melody, experience a plot and learn from the aggregate of human knowledge available online. The man on the street already knows this. He knows it when he illegally [1] gives his unused software to a friend or acquaintance. He knows it when he gives that old college book to a person in need. However, he also knows that something is wrong. He knows that something is wrong when the artwork of little girls is raped in the name of copyright [2]. He knows that something is wrong when solicitors use copyright to blackmail thousands of people sharing information [3]. He knows that something is wrong when corrupt organizations seeking to stem the free flow of information lie through their teeth, produce false documents and spread misinformation about their opponents [4]. He knows that it is not right when his leaders inexplicably support massive capitalist enterprises over the majority opinion of their own people [5]. He know they are wrong when they use illegal means to get what they want, while hypocritically deprecating their opponents for doing the same [6]. If one were to pursue the propaganda of various community-reputable organizations such as... * The Motion Picture Association of America [MPAA] * The Recording Industry Association of America [RIAA] * The B. Phonographic Industry [BPI] * The Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft [AFACT] * Stichting Bescherming Rechten Entertainment Industrie Nederland [BREIN] ...they would come across many a morality play suggesting that, if they 'pirate' a film or an album, they are depriving a simple artist, actor or crewmember of their rightful wage. This worker won't be able to break even for their next lot of groceries because the pirate robbed them of their money. Of course, these organizations carefully omit the fact that only a small percentage of the profits made by big media ever make it to those who actually produce it. Do they ever disclose how small of a percentage most script writers, novelists, etc., actually make? Of course not, and there is a reason why. Do these anti-piracy organizations truthfully disclose how much they receive in donations, and from whom? Of course not, and there is a reason for this also. In the end, our DDoS efforts have been compared to waiting for a train [7]. What must the people do to be heard? To what lengths must they go to have their pleads taken seriously? Must they to take to the streets with noose and handgun before those in power take notice? You are forcing our hand by ignoring the voice of the people. In doing so, you bring the destruction of your iron grip of information ever closer. You have ignored the people, attacked the people and lied to the people. For this, you will be held accountable before the people, and you will be punished by them. We will not stop. We will not forget. We will prevail. We are anonymous.

IMPORTANT!
To all fellow pirates sharing this torrent, please do your part to get back at ACS:LAW and have fun, too!
1. Thumbs up / add a definition for ACS:Law at Urbandictionary:
2. Educate anyone being bullied with Andrew Crossley's legal letters by linking them to:
3. Consider joining in on the current DDoS operation to drum up more media attention: http://leetbaka.com/tpb/
4. Post news of this torrent and the truth about the ACS:LAW scam on your blog, twitter, website, social networking site, whereever you can.
3. DON'T STOP SEEDING & DON'T STOP SHARING!
Excellent work everyone!

you can make seperate folders for each email account.
4) enjoy

Ladies & Gentlemen,
I wonder if a journalist would like to interview Louise Crossley.
My guess is that she split up with Andrew because he's such a cunt.
This info is publicly available on the internets:
LOUISE VICTORIA CROSSLEY
Business Address:
Blackwell Farm, Chandlers Lane, Bishops Cannings, Wiltshire SN10 2JZ, UK Tel: 01380 860 044
Also try tel: 44.1380860044
Fax: 01380 860 066
(source: & :D )
Ideas:
If someone doesn't mind forking out £1 (One pound - approx $2) we can get more (moar) info from Companies House. Look for the details of the directors for Company 04146148 [note 3]
[note 3]

Zoara (2010-09-25)

The denial letters from accused file-sharers are hysterical:
They are like:
'I deny illegally downloading "6 Nurses take it up the Ass" '
---> This is all lulzy
Tip for MacFags: I am able to use "Renamer4Mac" to automatically add *.eml to files in the CUR directories. I can then view the files using QuickLook (press spacebar whilst in finder)
Off topic:
To trolls who got bored of Chanology. There's an epic BBC Panorama on Tue 28 Sep 2010! The lulz is still going strong ;)

Zoara (2010-09-25)

I've been perusing through more content. This leak is beyond epic. Can I suggest we (somehow) collaborate to edit this and get it up on Wikileaks
It would be good to make it more accessible to the public (i.e. extract the text and attachments from all the *.eml files). A bonus is that Google (and other search engines) will be able to crawl and index the data.

Zoara (2010-09-25)

Hello my /b/rothers.
1. PDF Files : We need to get these PDF files OCR'd, if they haven't been already. (So google can crawl the contents ;D )
2. These GMAIL email addresses are used by this odious company:
acslawsupervisor@googlemail.com
Nikki Moss
acslawas@googlemail.com
(Lol @ how they are putting sensitive data on Google servers!)
3. Oh look, who's address is this:
Mr Crossley
5 Oak Way Ifold,
Loxwood
BILLINGSHURST
West Sussex
RH14 0RU
4. Their offices are really near John Lewis on Oxford Street!!
/r/ Londonfags do some IRL trolling. i.e. 'Hi Andrew!!! How's it going!?!?'. I wonder if he'll be in tomorrow (Sunday 26 September 2010)
Also, some journalists might like to go down and say 'hi'. There's probably no need to ring in advance - just turn up, I'm pretty sure he won't mind ;)
5. The stuff this guy is up to seems legally (not to mention morally) dodgy. Actual educated journalists, skilled in legalese need to look at this shit. Andrew Crossley appears to be an extortionist. Shady, shady man.

very_bad_man (2010-09-26)

RE: URGENT: BSkyB Letters For Processing - High Priority
My view is that an internet account holder has some opportunity for avoiding
legal responsibility for damage resulting from the acts of a third party
person when they have no explicit knowledge that their internet connection
is being used by the third party in a manner that causes damage to our
clients. This is well established case law (Smith v Littlewoods and
subsequent cases).
However, as detailed in Smith v Littlewoods, when a person has specific
knowledge that there is a risk that, or there is a high probability, their
premises will be used in a manner, which is known, by third parties to cause
damage to our clients and they had a capability to take action to prevent
such action by third parties, then they are liable for that damage.
It should however be noted that the awareness of the risk is constrained by
the Data Protection Act.
In my opinion the red patch applies - that is, no quarter....
Regards
Adam

Just been reading:
1282062702.H572040P13714.mail2.dfsv61
in .andrew_crossley@acs-law_co_uk folder.
Found this in a rar file. It's an index of all the communication with a guy they tried to get. But I found this on the form.
CONTROL DATA

Flagged for Court?
Proceedings Issued?
Wireless Claimed?
Sensitive Infringer?
Child?
Politically Sensitive?
Installments?
Why would they want to know if it was politically sensitive, other than to perhaps blackmail that politician. As the basis for what they were doing seems to be get people to pay up to avoid going to court and having their sexual interests displayed out in the open for all to see, in itself a form of blackmail. To have a tickbox on their own internal forms which indicate when a target is politically sensitive just shows what these fuckers were all about.
I have no doubt that the settlement figure for those who are 'politcally sensitive' would be 10 times that of everyone else.
Dirty robbing bastards. I've not got a lot of sympathy for politicians but these crooked ACS:law fucks are so getting what they deserve.

yodaz77 (2010-09-28)

williehmmmm - I suspect "politically sensitive" is more one to avoid - ACS:Law and similar have always been on thin ice over the legality of what they do and the last thing they want is a reason for the government to crack down. Equally, I'm guessing "sensitive infringer" is for lawyers and IT experts who they want to avoid for a test case.

ntts (2010-09-28)

Quick tip - look for anything in the emails that could be reported to FAST or the BSA. Given the slack attitude to payments etc that they've shown, I doubt they'd pass a software audit, and seeing these bastards sunk for piracy would be hilarious.

There is no new leak at all. This is the only leak. The BBC are just being idiots and not reporting accurately.

Hmmm .... there were just three File-Sharing case lawyers in the UK before this data was leaked. The data is in fact a DIY kit for any self-respecting young lawyer with a few media connections to set himself up as one. I am sure ACS Law are hurting bad and hell, they may even fold under the strain of this, but he who laughs last and all that ... there are 25 of these firms in Germany. How many in UK next year I wonder with this freely downloadable leg up to hitherto unimagineable riches?

dk500 (2010-09-28)

OK you guys. apparently, the leaked list has 13,000 people on there. apparently 1 in 3 people will just pay up the £500 because they don't understand it or are too scared to confront it.
That is 4333 lots of £500
Thats £2,166,500.
Is he really gonna be bothered with a £500,000 fine?!?!
Someone should drain his accounts now those details are on here.

olliegee (2010-09-28)

From their staff handbook:
Employees are expected to preserve in absolute confidence all information regarding the company and its clients. Also, ACS Law prohibits the removal or copying of any company records, reports or documents without prior approval.
Certain information is vital to the company, and any breach of confidentiality will seriously injure the company's reputation in the profession and damage its relationships with those who have entrusted it with confidential business information.
HAHAHAHA! Dear oh dear....

what ACS have been doing is nothing short of blackmail. they send letters to people demanding £495 or they will reveal details of their sexual inclanations....
I hope the sleazy bastards are sued + fined into bankrupcy.

Hopefully in addition to the £500k fine ACS will be getting, all 13,000 people who's details have been leaked will sue the arses off of them.

Hey Whadd ya Know......
Fat boy joined eHarmony!! There's a surprise!
email 19/08/2010 1:02am
"Congratulations on taking the first step
Dear andy,
Welcome to eHarmony UK. By registering, you're already on your way to finding a happy, successful relationship. "
Think you might wanna put that search on hold for a bit fat boy, at least until this shit storm blows over (which i doubt it will).
Shocking really, this bloke is so full of his own shit (re:emails) and is clearly not struggling financially but yet doesn't have the bottle to approach a chick and chat her up face to face. The lesson of the story is: money cant buy you a real set of balls.
If you want my advice fat boy, just do what all your other pudgy little pencil pushing mates do and go pay for a hooker to sit on your fat greedy face.
Bet you wish you hadn't wasted that money on the joining fee for eharmony after receiving utterly sobering advice like that free of charge.....??

Mr Abraham is operating under the misunderstanding of the nature of the infringement. He has not denied that he may have file sharing software and the fact he has a secured wireless networkakes him more likely to be personally responsible. We need to make him understand the infringemt is uploading, not downloading.
I have an idea. We should send a factsheet with all loc's answering all the usual questions and dispelling some common misapprehensions as I think it will better inform people and increase revenue.

QUOTE:
But perhaps most creative are the letters that make no attempt at argument. These are sheer vitriol. One stands out among the rest:
Go f— your mum you stupid pakistani black jew. You zimbabwean immigrant.
So listen up fat f—, don't send me another letter. If you do send me another f—ing letter, I will rape your mum against the wall and I will blow up your house and kill you all in a terrorist attack.
In addition, I want a £3500 cheque written to me for the inconvinience [sic] you have caused me.
*If you do not reply to this email with a confirmation that you will pay me, I will hunt you down and stab you in the back and blow your d— up.*

westonpf (2010-09-29)

I really have led a sheltered life; I now realise I need to see some of these movies that these people have been accused of downloading.
I find it totally plausible that a 70 year old couple would download a film called 'Big Black Shaggers'. The elderly like to watch fuck-fest as much as anyone else.
This has to finish ACS once and for all; if the fines and possible lawsuits don't finish them they must have lost all credibility with the very copyright holders they claim to be representing.
Got to feel sorry for the people who have had their details leaked (yes I checked, there wasn't anyone I know on the list) but lets hope this is a lesson to any other law firms who see this as a good money spinner, best that they go back to ambulance chasing.

Why are people with Sky???
If Sky didn't give out the personal details to these law firms, then we wouldn't have these law firms in the first place!!!
Why did Sky give out the details of these individuals to these law firms, when Virgin Media didn't!
The following is a step by step guide on how you can get back at Sky!
1) These law firms sue individuals for downloading/uploading copyright contents.
2) They trace the indivuals via their IP address.
3) Sky then gives the address's of these individuals to these law firms.
4) These Law firms then sue the individuals for downloading/uploading copyright contents.
5) However if someone else uses your internet connection to download illegal content without prior knowledge, then that individual must be sued by the law firm.
6) However the Law firm will blame you for the security of your internet connection. making you responsibe for the illegal download.
7) However anyone with little or now knowedge of internet security will say they they were not advised about this.
8) It is the responsibly of the Internet Provider (Sky) to explain this to them before they sign up to them, because if they don't then they are responsible for the fines!
9) Cancel Sky Broadband and join Virgin Media!

ToneEQ (2010-09-29)

The worst thing about Sky at the moment is they have said they will be happy to deal with ACS Law again in the future once they have their house in order!

Dear Sirs
Infringement of Copyright – Evacuate the Dancefloor
Thank you for your letter dated 16th August 2010 and we respond using the same
numbering:
1. As far as "fake" or "spoofed" IP addresses are concerned, whilst such faking or spoofing
is possible, our client has received advice from its experts, which has confirmed that it is
not possible to enter into a successful transaction on a peer to peer network whilst
using a fake or spoofed IP address. Our client's experts will also not gather torrents
containing fake or spoofed IP addresses as a result of the technical methods they
employ. The processes and methods employed by our client's IT experts to produce
the evidence which is then submitted to the ISPs, has been the subject of a number of
detailed investigations and reports prepared by a qualified information technology
consultant including a UK expert and which has been provided to the High Court of
Justice in London following which it felt able to make an order against your client’s ISP
to disclose your client’s name and address to us. We therefore remain of the view that
there has been no mistake and that your client's internet connection was used for the
infringing act identified. Should it be necessary to issue proceedings against your client,
full details of our client's expert report will be made available as part of the disclosure
process.
2. We are unsure of the purpose of this point however, please be assured that should it
be necessary to issue proceedings against your client full details of all evidence
gathered by the monitoring system will be made available as part of the disclosure
process.
3. The work identified as being made available by your client was the Album ‘Evacuate
the Dancefloor’ which was released in the UK on the 17th July 2009.

gujiman (2010-09-29)

NEWS - ACS:Law approached internet service providers such as Sky and BT. The ISPs then provided the personal details of the account holders associated with the IP address at the time of the alleged infringment.
However
A Virgin Media spokesperson said the company scrutinised any legal demand for the disclosure of personal data very carefully.
"To protect our customers we can and do oppose applications for disclosure. As such, we have not and do not intend to support requests from ACS:Law," a VM spokesman said.
My advice is to leave SKY and join Virgin Media!

lets see if this works...
i do not download, i cache information onto my system in the same way that i cache any webpage i look at.
its a legitimate program that also allows other users of the program to cache the same information on their systems. this saves the main server having to provide all the cpu power and drain its systems when demand get high...
i an NOT a d/l er.. i cache.
think it would work???
on a side issue...
any smart lawfirm should download this file and approach the people concerned with an offer of no win/ no fee to hit ACS with a law suit of thier own...
now that would get them right where it hurts....

Not sure how many of you have seen this one yet but it's a real cracker:
email sent from AC to JM 20/06/2010 2:45pm:
"I am trying to think of ways of wrong-footing the SRA and taking the wind
out of their sails. Sorry for the mixed metaphor. My latest wheeze is to
contact schools or local authorities and offer to give talks to teenagers at
schools about file sharing and why we do what we do. I would offer to do
this free of charge and offer it as a service to educate young people not to
file share, to prove that the work we do is not all about the money. What do
you think? If you like it or have any other ideas let me know and we need to
get someone to cold call.write to school authorities to offer this free
service. It will improve our profile with the SRA, educate young people and
in time reduce file sharing, which will in turn benefit the creative
industries. "
He's even prepared to lie and use school kids as a cushion to divert the attention away from the SRA about the real reason he is doing what he is doing, which is of course: exploiting the justice system to shaft everyday people out of money so he can buy flashy motors and extravagant properties.

Andrew's daughter Issey Crossley is somewhere around 16 years old and attends the GBP 15000/year Dauntsey's school five miles south of Devizes where she is studying A levels in Psychology and French and probably one other subject too. She can be found on twitter as IsseyC and also on formspring under the same name.

Louise Crossley works for pukka-j - a company that makes medical imaging equipment - she's the company secretary. I'm guessing but I think the Kevin mentioned in the email might be the dude who founded the company - you can find his picture on the company website.
Tamsin Logan is Andrew Crossley's girlfriend. They are looking to rent a large country house together and he has just bought her a black jeep of which she is very proud (she SWABS around in it - lol). The license plate is OV59 BUW and it's a Jeep Compass 2.4CVT.
Apparently we are not to mention to Tamsin that Andrew has been in touch with an ex-girlfriend called Jo Rafferty. She is a drama teacher and a musician and had written a musical called Binworld which she is going to try to market to the BBC. Andrew is assisting.

If you're reading this Andrew, we all know how difficult the past few days must have been for you;
All the negative media attention..…. The repeated prank calls and abusive emails you have received….. The looming shadow of darkness on the horizon caused by the mountain of paperwork piling up on the desk of the Information Commissioner as he diligently builds a flawless case against ACS Law which will inevitably result in a new arse hole being torn for you in addition to the original one you already had from birth….. Both of which he will continually penetrate until blood is flowing like the Thames…… Not to mention all the fun filled days that lie ahead of you, receiving legal action from many of the people whose personal data wound up on the internet for millions to see because you were too busy worrying about which 27 bedroom property you were going to live in next instead of keeping your corporate network security up to scratch.
And all the while Andrew, there you are, working your man tits off, trying to help those poor, unfortunate Porn directors as they slave away watching two or more strangers fuck the living daylights out of each other all week, only to make an insignificant amount of money because their work of art is being passed around, willy nilly, by a pensioner named Doris in Blackpool using Bit Torrent.

Whenever I’m feeling down, I like to listen to a bit of music and I thought this particular song would really strike a chord and relate to your current situation, helping you to feel like you really aren’t alone in this hell hole of a world.
(I just realised by pasting these lyrics, I could be guilty of copyright infringement…. But then I let out a deep sigh of relief because I remembered ACS Law aren’t doing too well lately.)
So here it is, let the healing begin with words from the Godfather of Soul himself !!….

Fellow Paralegals,
From now on, if you find a response to a third party letter, do not send a security letter. Instead, please move the letter into the ABANDON HOPE folder in General Paras.
This is because Andrew and Adam will be drafting a new letter so we can drop a couple of hundred cases over the next couple of weeks, putting pressure on those who we do not drop to settle.
If you find someone who is blind, one legged and dying, and you think they are not worth pursuing due to the possibility of bad PR, please also put them in there. However, the majority of cases will be continued.
Enjoy your evening,

This is great - someone contacts him randomly to ask with help defending against a P2P sharing claim, from the other company doing this. At least he had the sense to say no to this money making op....

Thanks

For that, have you got his e-mail address please?

Dear Ms Steel
Thank you for your email of earlier today.
I am sorry, but I am unable to assist you. I am one of two law firms in the country that carry out file sharing litigation work (the other firm being Gallant Macmillan). As such I am not in a sufficiently independent position to provide advice to you on how to respond to any letters from Gallant Macmillan.
However, I am aware that there is a firm called Lawdit Solicitors (ask for Michael Coyle, 023 8023 5979), who specialise in responding to cases of the type you have received. Good luck!
Regards
------------
I was wondering if I could ask for a bit of advice.

I have received a letter from Gallant Macmillian accusing my IP address of infringements against Ministry of sound. I have replied within the 21 days and they have replied to me stating that I have given them a form of template letter and still have to give more explanation as to why I should not be accused.

What steps do you think I should now take?

For reference:

"As regards your reference to a ‘crime’, we do not (and have never alleged) that you are guilty of committing a crime. Our client’s claim is that your internet connection has been used to commit a civil wrong by infringing our client’s copyright for the reasons set out in our letter of claim."
So go on - prove it in court :)

Sorry Andrew, I thought my reply covered this issue. As long as they agree to drop everything completely, then we will live with our costs, but it has to be absolute.
We will then consider if we are going to take any further action against then, but at this stage all we want is a full stop to all of their actions.
Thanks again

Another smoke screen attept...
I have come across a service designed to protect reputations damaged by the internet. My own IT guy is involved. This is how he describes it; it may be of interest: There are 2 aspects to the work:- Prevention and Removal. The basic principle is that we identify the clients key properties to protect:- Company Name; Director Names; Staff Names; Product Names; Service Names. For prevention, we aim to dominate the first 5 pages of Google with search results to pages we control. We build mini websites, social media profile pages, articles, hub pages, to flood the internet with positive information. We create it in such a way that no one suspects it is done purposely for brand protection. If there is negative press (any website) that is already published, we use tactics to move those web page results off the first 5 pages of Google. Normally no one searches past the first 5 pages. We also help manage their brand/reputation on social media sites (Facebook/Twitter etc..) by registering all available profiles in their name and holding them to prevent anyone getting them and publishing negative information. We also monitor Staff commentary on social media sites about their “work” to ensure they are not writing negatively about their company, boss or clients. The cost is typically £150 per month for a minimum of 12 months, as it can sometimes take 3 – 4 months to see any results. (due to the way Google works)

I hope all is well with you today. I have attached a copy of the order for the Jeep Compass 2.4CVT. The registration number of the car is shown on the on order and it should read OV59 BUW.

Andrew Crossley is scum, but his daughter and her grandpa isn't.
Publicly humiliating these Law firms is Good thing but insulting and humilating the family is a bad thing.
some one should be modirating these comments!

i hope all the people who're still paying ACS via instalments realise to go and cancel the payments immediately.

Sorry about that, had a big salary run and the rent has gone this month. However, I am working on this and should have it sorted by Monday/Tuesday at the latest.
Many thanks

Oh I forgot to write that Crossley set up a meeting with Jo Rafferty. She seems to be a creative and nice person and she even uploaded 8 mp3 songs which you can hear. I particulary like the song

underworldjoe (2010-10-01)

Regarding the comments about leaving Andrews family out of the picture… Personally I think open season should be called on them also. Surely if Andrews family is happily living their lavish and privileged lifestyles in the knowledge of where the money has come from, (via the blackmailing / extortion, be it rightly or wrongly) from suspected file sharers and their family’s then as far as im concerned screw them too. The innocent families of the accused are being put through much more hardship, pain and suffering than the Crossley family. Andrews happy sitting on his fat arse fucking people over, time to return the favour make this cunt earn his money. I hope the other law firms take this recent incident in ACS Law as a warning, and ensure they don’t have any skeletons hidden in their closets as im sure if they mess with the wrong people their personal business will also become public knowledge one way or another. Just my opinion…

Gum_Boot (2010-10-01)

OK, it looks like someone else is going for it:

Also, is there any evidence that anybody has been taken to court by the scum-bag? I haven't really looked to far into the files, but I haven't found any mention of actual court procedings...
Also big thanks to SXP64.

robbieirish (2010-10-01)

post honeymoon masterbation?
Dear Sirs,
I am writing in regards to a letter I have received from yourselves today Reference: M2DA10825197, regarding the matter of Infringement of Copyright.
I am totally unaware of the allegations you are making towards myself in this case, at no time have I sought to download or upload a movie under the name of 'Xcalibur - The Lords Of Sex'.
On the date you have said this offense happened, I had only just arrived back in the UK from being on my honeymoon, the only thing that would have been connected to my ISP at the time to my knowledge, would have been my Blackberry mobile, which is unable to use P2P, let alone store 12GB of file.
I have been very alarmed at the aggressive nature of your letter, I understand the seriousness of the infringement but to be held responsible or to be I told I knowingly allowed someone to commit this act is not true, I was fast asleep at 5 am recovering from lack of sleep from my return flight.
I have today reported your firm to the SRA, and am currently writing to BBC Watchdog after reading all the reports about your firm online, as I don't seem to be the only innocent party that is being accused.
In light of my testament above, I can not sign the UNDERTAKINGS or pay the fine of £495 as I am not and never have been in possession of the alleged file.
If you have any further evidence that can physically point to the file being within my property at the said time, or that I knowingly allowed this to happen, then I would be interested in seeing it, although seeing that I know the infringement never happened I doubt this would be the case.
Yours sincerely
***********
ATT: The copies of my flight details.

yodaz77 (2010-10-01)

"Dear All, I will let you know this in person also - Please be alert for the infringer below who is likely to call in today. She has threatened suicide, please be careful in what is said and assure her that a letter will go out to her tomorrow. Many Thanks. Leyla."
Yes folks, we wouldn't want her to top herself before she has chance to send us a cheque...

Would be the obvious thing to do. Either before they get the High Court order or once that has been confirmed...
But I wouldn't think that this kind of exposure will happen again (sadly).
And I do hope that someone is frying the almonds off that greedy git, there must be someone who has the expertise, credentials and knowledge to do it.
Also it seems nobody has found any signs for actual court cases???

I disagree, if my father was a low life scum sucking leach like Crossley I would rather know all the details in order to make the informed choice of disowning the worthless piece of shit.
And then I might also gain an insight into why so many people are hoping that somewhere out there theres a psycho relative of one of the many thousand families that Crossley has terrorised intimidated and harassed, who has about as much respect for the law as Crossley himself has, and is more than willing to administer his own form of home grown justice on the louse which the worthless cunt so desperately deserves.

In case anyone is wondering who "Norwich Pharmacal" is its the name of a case.
See
for details.
It does state that:-
"The person seeking the court order must have a genuine intention of commencing proceedings. "
In other words if they are using this judgement to get folks names and addresses with a view to merely "putting the frighteners" on them, then they are using it incorrectly and should be taken to court themselves!
