Originally posted by Paddy View PostI had a poke around with the Ltd Co/s and directors of Goldeneye. Their accounts don’t add up either. I suspect their day will come.
How many people out there are married to spouses who would literally divorce them if they got accused of downloading porn? I've got mates terrified that their wives will find out that they've been to lapdancing places on rugby tours.
Anyone whos ever been there (not that Im a frequent visitor but I have been when tanked up for a laugh) will know the chances of any proper "action" there are nil. Touch the dancers and you WILL get a good kicking out the back.
Told me Mrs once and she just laughed and called me sad. OK Im sad.

It's not GoldenEye, but it is the same scam.The indictment charges Hansmeier and Steele with a raft of federal crimes: conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy to suborn perjury in federal court. As usual, if you count up the statutory maximum sentence for all of these crimes, you get a ridiculous number that bears no relation to the probable sentences they face if convicted. However, given the amounts discussed in the indictment, they are facing years in federal prison.

Originally posted by psychocandy View PostBut Goldeneye will never go to court for two reasons:-
1. Its hassle and there are plenty of easy targets who will cough up £300 after, maybe, one letter. Cost them very little outlay to do this and they know what percent will pay up.
2. If they risk going to court and lose, then it'll potentially screw up the good thing they've got going from (1).

I believe the correct terminology is "on the balance of probabilities".

As Goldeneye are using the civil courts you don't have to have done the actual act there just needs to be sufficient evidence to convince the judge you very likely did do it. In other words I agree with Mr Judgment.Originally posted by Mordac View PostSorry, you're way off legally. The claimant has to prove that an individual (who may or may not be the account holder) illegally downloaded content to which the claimant holds copyright. If they can't prove that, they will lose. Oh, and for Christ's sake, learn how to spell judgement
