GoldenEye international - nice little scam going!

And also asking them to justify how they've lost £700 - which is what the law allows them to chase you for - they can't make up 'fines'.

You might want to read up on the Beavis parking case. The Supreme Court handed down it's judgement and it is that Private Companies are now allowed to charge what they think they can get away with.

Thank you Psychocandy for replying so rapidly.

However, isn't their proof that SKY gave them my IP address and a title enough? I'm just really worried that if i deny it, they'll take me to court and i'll loose and it'll all come out.

Nah like I think the onus is on the owner of the copyright to prove you have a copy and that they lost money because of it.

It was on the BBC news today Sky warning over 'cash for porn' letter - BBC News the Golden Eye director is mentioned and he Julian Becker Julian Becker, some googling / digging around reveals a lot about the company setup etc that people might find interesting they don't seem to very bright people.

The judgment in question includes the sentence "None of this means that ParkingEye could charge overstayers whatever it liked" (para. 100) which directly contradicts your interpretation.

That film I downloaded regarding the last CUK ladies night out. Will I now have to pay for that? Will it be as expensive as a divorce?

+1 They have to PROVE you did the dirty deed, if they can't they lose (and they won't try since once precedent has been set their business case goes out of the window), As others have said write back asking for proof and state that you'll be taking legal advice, end of scam.

No, they do not have to "prove" their case. They will probably win just by the mere fact of having a solicitor or barrister showing up with a piece of paper with your IP address on it. In civil cases "proof" is on the balance of probabilities, eg "the defendant was more likely liable than not liable". The Claimant may well get costs of around £3000,00 on top of compensation.

BTW Lord Neuberger is a CU^T!

Yes they do, and no they wont.

Have a read about ACS Law and what happened to them when they tried the same thing.

This has some interesting stuff as well and is worth a read to see just who is involved.
