One of the law firms that has been sending threatening letters to people
asking for money over copyright infringement claims accidentally made
its email records available last week - these have now been published
via tPB etc.

The emails allegedly contain precise details of how this sort of process
works, legal and technical comments and insight into the money and
attitudes involved. They should be of interest to anyone looking into
this sort of activity, particularly in the UK, Germany and now the US
(and the emails indicate this lawyer has been involved in all three
countries).

The lawyer in question is already facing disciplinary action here (and
there are emails indicating his dismissive attitude to that) but I would
imagine this will cause quite a fuss within the legal community -
although so far the mainstream media have been ignoring it.
