The DDoS was deliberate, but ACS:Law restored a backup which exposed
the e-mails. A DDoS by itself wouldn't expose them.<br>

<div>Accidentally? From what I heard, it was the result of a
very deliberate DDoS attack by the 4chan guys. I think pirates
all over the world have to be extra careful in their reaction
to this, as these are methods we should clearly condemn
(especially considering the private communication that has
also been made public). We have to make it very clear to the
public that we want to achieve our goals through legal means,
ie political pressure and raising public awareness.</div>

<br>
One of the law firms that has been sending threatening letters
to people<br>
asking for money over copyright infringement claims
accidentally made<br>
its email records available last week - these have now been
published<br>
via tPB etc.<br>
<br>
The emails allegedly contain precise details of how this sort
of process<br>
works, legal and technical comments and insight into the money
and<br>
attitudes involved. They should be of interest to anyone
looking into<br>
this sort of activity, particularly in the UK, Germany and now
the US<br>
(and the emails indicate this lawyer has been involved in all
three<br>
countries).<br>
<br>
The lawyer in question is already facing disciplinary action
here (and<br>
there are emails indicating his dismissive attitude to that)
but I would<br>
imagine this will cause quite a fuss within the legal
community -<br>
although so far the mainstream media have been ignoring it.<br>
