just the start of an article about speculative invoicing been sent out by golden eye
Some Sky broadband subscribers have been warned they may be required to pay a fine for illicit downloading of porn content. The ISP has sent notifications to its customers after it was required by court to hand over their personal details to rights company Golden Eye – the owner of copyright to many adult titles.
This company, also known as Ben Dover Productions, have collected the IP addresses of users accused of illegal downloading of its movies and forced the ISP to hand over their real names and addresses. Three years ago, it did the same with O2 and wrote to its subscribers demanding a settlement of £700 per title as compensation. The company threatened to take users who didn’t pay up to court for their copyright violation. In this case, the infringes would have to pay lawyers fees alone more than £700.
