    Adult video-sharing list leaked from law firm

    Leaked Emails Reveal Profits of Anti-Piracy Cash SchemeFriday night the anti-piracy law firm ACS:Law accidentally published its entire email archive online, effectively revealing how the company managed to extract over a million dollars (£636,758.22) from alleged file-sharers since its operation started. On average, 30% of the victims who were targeted paid up, and this money was divided between the law firm, the copyright holder and the monitoring company.

    The human victims of this scheme. From poor people pleading for clemency, to bewildered old age pensioners accused of sharing adult movies, to married men who have been confronted with allegations of sharing gay porn, the cost is significant.

        not just adult ones - looks like there is a list of people who have shared music and normal films also.

        Anybody know where this list is?
        Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

        I preferred version 1!

          Warning: I'm not sure how legal it would be to access that data.

                Any recommendations for non-torrent sites?

                  You could try here: http://34d.me/data.sql.gz But I'm not sure of what is in there.

                  It looks like sites are being shutdown quickly.
