More than 2,000 O2 'porn pirates' to be sent letters

[cunny]

More than 2,000 O2 customers will receive letters accusing them of illegally downloading porn films.

The firm behind the films - Ben Dover Productions - had originally applied to the High Court to pursue 9,000 cases on behalf of a range of copyright owners.

The judge threw out all claims apart from those relating to Ben Dover and watered down the wording of letters.

Parent company Golden Eye did not rule out the possibility that it would be pursuing other ISPs in the future.

To date, it has only requested a court order to pursue alleged copyright infringers on O2's network but this may be extended to other ISPs.

"Golden Eye (Int) Ltd continues to monitor all ISPs for our titles and pursue online and physical forms of piracy of our content," managing director Julian Becker told the BBC.

Letters seeking recompense for alleged copyright offences will start going out to 2,845 O2 customers in August.

The Citizens Advice Bureau has agreed to help those who feel they have been wrongly accused.

I always thought copyright meant you cant copy and distribute works, downloading isnt copying or distributing... Surely a simple defence for those being hounded for downloading would be something like "Well it was freely available to me on the internet, this implied to me that the distributor was authorised to make the copy available to me"

You wouldnt ring up sky everytime you want to watch a film to ask them to prove they're allowed to be broadcasting that film to you, and you wouldnt ask for written confirmation from Amazon concerning their rights to sell paticular copies of films each time you wish to order one, you just assume they're allowed to do so.

If they made prostitution legal I'd no longer have to cover my tracks.

Running out of places to put the body parts.

No matter how fine I cut & mince them...they just won't fit down the wires so someone can download them. And I thought an on-line version of dial-a-whore would make more money....
