Topic: Piracy letter campaign 'nets innocents'

[Simon]

More than 150 people have approached consumer publication Which? Computing claiming to have been wrongly targeted in crackdowns on illegal file-sharing.

ACS:Law has sent thousands of letters to people claiming they have illegally downloaded material and offers them a chance to settle by paying around £500.

Which? says it has been approached by some - including a 78 year-old accused of downloading pornography - who have no knowledge of the alleged offence.

78 year old, why wouldn't they be downloading porn? I understand it when they say kids but elderly folk could easily be doing it.

Oh - I think they have the complete wrong attitude... attacking people is a waste of time and money.. just bring the price of the product down and make it more available online and job done. BBC piracy has to only occur by people way from the UK... so why don't others just follow that model!

Of course, we have living proof that old people download porn.

There are some very pretty sheep around at the moment.

I'm surprised they've not mentioned it.

Old people may need porn more than youngsters. No names, no pack drill. 

[Simon]

But we have at least one name!

And I've just found this hidden avatar.  Do we know anyone who just happens to be missing one?

Perfect Rod!
