A Bristol graphic designer who was ripped off by an internet seller has turned to Shakespeare to get his revenge.
Edd Joseph, 24, who lives in the city with his girlfriend, was furious when he bought a PS3 games console for £80 and the seller failed to deliver the goods.
So Edd decided to take his revenge by sending him the entire works of the Bard – by text.
‘Edd discovered he could copy the words from the internet and paste them into a text message – without costing him a penny on his unlimited mobile phone package.
He sends it as one text but his victim can only receive them in 160 character chunks – meaning the 37 works of Shakespeare will buzz through in 29,305 individual texts.
So far Edd has sent 22 plays including Hamlet, Macbeth and Othello which have been delivered in 17,424 texts.’
And who said Shakespeare was pointless? |

What a piece of work is a man. How like an angel in apprehension. Good lad. I'm paraphrasing that last bit! |

"Brilliant but sadly the law will probably take a dim view."
By rights the law should take a dim view of the man he sent the texts to once it is realised why he chose to send them |

While it is both amusing and original, surely it borders on harassment? And are conmen really so stupid as to use anything other than a easily discarded pay as you go sim? And if not surely the recipient could just block his number?
I also think that it could breach the fair use policy of his phone contract and he may be in for a nasty surprise when he gets his bill. |

What law has he broken I wonder ?"
Strictly speaking it is a malicious attack on a communications device. No different to a denial of service attack on a computer. |
