Pinball software in P2P legal row

THERE ARE a large number of very confused people in the UK who have received a letter from a firm of solicitors claiming that they are P2P pirates.

The letters from a UK firm of lawyers Messrs Davenport Lyons claim that they have been caught distributing a piece of software called Dream Pinball 3D and that they will have to pay between £300-£600 or go to court.

Internet forums have been abuzz with comments from people who have received the letter. The posts have certain things in common. None of the people accused of downloading has ever seen the software and certainly do not have it on their machines. Secondly it is not clear how Messrs Davenport Lyons got their personal details.

The letter claims that “processes and methods employed by IT experts to produce the evidence” has been submitted to the person’s ISP who has given them details.

“We therefore remain of the view that there has been no mistake and that at the very least, your iP address has been identified as being responsible for the infringing of the act(s) identified,” the letter said.
