FileWatch: Proof that ACS:Law DID NOT and CAN NOT stop sharing, employing these firms is futile

ACS:NEWS - YOUR AWARD WINNING 24 HOUR ANTI-SCAM BROADCASTER

Good evening netizens.  As news flies in about new law firms set to take over where ACS:Law left off, BT and the courts tell Ministry of Sound to go away until January and Operation Payback floors yet more targets, we at ACS:News would like to bring you a special segment dedicated to ACS:Law named ACS:News FileWatch.

It's no secret that Andrew Johnathan Crossley and his law firm employed some of the dirtiest tactics in the field of law to make money from the masses but just how well did they do at what they claimed to have been working towards; protecting copyrights?

Last week, news broke to the release of a 'megapack' put up by pirates claiming to contain every album and song ACS:Law were recieving money to protect.  The pirates who released the pack stated that finding each album was simple and that anyone with a connection to the Internet could do it.  Sounds like a challenge, huh?  In this special report, our field team sets out to find the files supposedly protected by Andrew Crossley and finds out whether employing firms like ACS:Law is actually worth the stress on your wallet.

<Highlights of forthcoming segment...>

"Oh my god, I can't believe they're right there in front of us...", "<chuckling>Are they going to sue Google next?", "<excitement>Is that every file?  Every last one?  Oh *#$%......", "<shouting>WE'VE GOT A LETTER, I REPEAT WE'VE GOT A LETTER", "<distressed cries>IS EVERYBODY OK... #&$% IS EVERYBODY OK?"

Hello and welcome to ACS:News FileWatch.  In this month’s show we investigate just how well controversial law firm ACS:Law are protecting their client's 'intellectual' interests and if they really can keep people from sharing music on the Internet.

It's a misty early October morning and the team settle down at their desks armed with a list of files supposedly forbidden from the depths of the Internet.  Their aim: to see if, and just how easily the files can be obtained, depsite ACS:Law's claims.

Rachael, 23, was the first in our team to give it a try.  Rachael is tech savvy and uses BitTorrent regularly.  Using a combination of BitTorrent indexers and search engines she was astonished to find ALL of the music 'protected' by ACS:Law in readily downloadable, high-quality formats.

Next up was Matthew, ACS:News' 75 year old field reporter who has very limited experience with computers and the Internet.  "I like to email the grandkids at weekends and sometimes search for pictures of wildlife", says Matt, looking rather daunted by the prospect of being able to find and download an entire forbidden catalogue of music.  “Though according to ACS:Law I’m a big fan of talentless commercial dance act Cascada”, he mutters.  Matt starts by going to Google and searching simply for the titles of the music required followed by strings such as 'download', 'torrent' and 'mp3'.  To Matt's amazement he was able to obtain each and every album at lightening speeds, proving that even technophobes can and will use the Internet to download and share music.
“The grandkids will be proud of their granddad”, explains Matt.  “Maybe they’ll teach me how to share this stuff with others, though I’m not sure I want them listening to it!”

Throughout the day various other people tried the test and gained similar results with most people saying they could find the albums through a combination of Google, various P2P applications, BitTorrent and Usenet.
"I think anyone who plans on investing in ACS:Law should think long and hard before they part with their cash", claims one member of the team.
"I didn't doubt for a second that everything was readily available", claims another.
"If anything I think people will be more inclined to share the music they've been told not to, just to prove a point", says veteran field reporter Matthew.

Below are links to the files the team found.  These files were found using common search engines like Google and Bing and are NOT hosted by ACS:News.

So there you have it.  Solid evidence that employing law firms such as ACS:Law to 'protect' your works is not only a pointless waste of money but a sure way to alienate your potential audience, placing you squarely in the 'they are against file sharing' category.

...Back to you in the studio...

Disclaimer: None of the files above are hosted or supplied by ACS:News and are therefore not in breach of any copyright legislation.  ACS:News are merely reporting links as they are found, direct from our NYC news room.

BREAKING NEWS: Pirates release another ACS:Law 'megapack', this time it's games...

ACS ACTION NEWS LIVE

A peaceful Sunday afternoon in the leafy green suburb where ACS:News is based has been thrown into chaos as news breaks about the release of another 'megapack' by anti-anti-P2P group "WANKERS" who have this time decided to concentrate on releasing the entire video games catalogue ACS:Law and Davenport Lyons have actively pursued individuals over, including one woman who has been thrown into financial ruin after Davenport Lyons successfully sued her for around £16,000, yes, £16k after allegedly sharing the computer game "Dream Pinball 3D" online.

The pack contains much of the gaming content used to target people over sharing in recent years including mobile games, PC games and even a Sony PSP game.

The text below is quoted directly from the "NFO" (information file accompanying the latest release) in which WANKERS outline their reasoning behind the release, dubbed the 'Forbidden Games Pack', following their previous 'Forbidden Music Pack' released last week containing every album and song ACS:Law has attempted to stop people from sharing online.

WANKERS likely chose their name based on action taken against P2P and digital news site Slyck after a user reportedly called ACS:Law head Andrew Crossley a 'wanker', sparking a torrent of legal threats against Slyck from the ACS:Law offices.

{If you already have one of these releases (identical value) then point this torrent at the directory if you wish, the more sharing the better}

{Remember, there's a chance you could be sent a legal letter should ACS:Law still be in business when you download this, if they choose to target this release should it end up being shared via BitTorrent.  If you are outside of the UK, you will be not be targeted.  If you are using a privacy service, you will not be targeted.  If you recieve a letter then there is plenty of advice out there for you on the web; you don't have to pay a thing.  That said - download at your own risk.}

NOTES:

...and now we present you a games pack which ACS:Law and Davenport Lyons don't want you playing!  Thanks to Slyck forums & BeingThreatened for compiling lists to help this happen.  This is the follow up to our 'Forbidden Music Pack' - ACS.Law.Forbidden.Music.Pack.READNFO-WANKERS which you can get hold of at http://bit.ly/bWhLh9 (thanks ACS:News)

As many of these games are 'mobile' versions and therefore multi-platform it's been hard finding out exactly which versions were being targeted by ACS:Law and Davenport Lyons.  So, we released the lot to be absolutely sure.

Unlike the music pack, some of this stuff was actually a little more difficult to get hold of but nothing someone with access to a 56k modem and Google couldn't accomplish.  Hopefully this more obscure stuff will get spread a little further now, similar to the semi-unknown titles in the music pack.

We have left out some big popular titles here, i.e. Call of Juarez, Colin McCrae Dirt and Two Worlds due to bandwidth/time issues.  We might include these in Vol2 but if you want to get hold of these games, just do the following:

Call of Juarez {PC}: Google 'Call.Of.Juarez.Bound.In.Blood-Razor1911' or search for 'Call.Of.Juarez.Bound.In.Blood-Razor1911' on your favourite torrent site.

Colin McCrae Dirt {PC}: Google 'Colin.McRae.DiRT-RELOADED' or search for 'Colin.McRae.DiRT-RELOADED' on your favourite torrent site.

Two Worlds {PC}: Google 'Two_Worlds-Razor1911' or search for 'Two_Worlds-Razor1911' on your favourite torrent site.

That was difficult, huh?  Way to lock down the Internet, ACS:Law!

There may be the odd obscure version of the mobile stuff missing but WANKERS unfortunately doesn't have access to every mobile device to test these releases.  If we've missed anything that people are getting harassed over then post on Slyck (http://www.slyck.com) or in the comments section on ACS:News (http://acslaw.blogspot.com), we read both these sources.  We'll do our best to provide them in a Vol2 release.

Why has this been created?  As before...

One; to prove how easily we at WANKERS could acquire these files.  Do you think it took us hours of trouble?  No, it was point and click business as usual, something anyone with an Internet connection can achieve.

Two; To show ACS:Law, Davenport Lyons and other such firms, agencies and corporations alike that we WILL NOT STOP SHARING despite your 'terror and fear' tactics and your attempts to manipulate politics and the law.

Three; To show artists that employing the likes of ACS:Law is completely detrimental and pointless.  You're throwing money at something you cannot stop, despite what ACS:Law might say to convince you otherwise.  Embrace sharing - be thrilled that so many people are able to access, share and enjoy your creation without any strings attached.

Four; Because we can and always will be able to.

So, P2Pers, go ahead -- download and share this with everyone.  Keep sharing and don't allow yourself to be bullied by the likes of Andrew Crossley, ACS:Law, Davenport Lyons and other such Anti-P2P organizations.  We are the future. "

As usual, we at ACS:News are able to provide you with up-to-the-minute links to the situation.  You can download and share the pack via BitTorrent from any of the following:

CALL TO ACTION [26th September 2010]
LIVE FROM LONDON: Citizens of the Internet and beyond - The ACS:Law email leak is undoubtedly huge and as an increasing amount of ACS:Law company information is obtained from the leaked company emails it is important that each of us do our part in spreading the news.  This includes posting on your website, blog, news outlet, Twitter, Facebook, social networking sites and contacting interested parties who would, too, be interested in the information that has been gained.
We have strong evidence to believe that Andrew Crossley and ACS:Law have, in the past, looked into hiring a company that specialise in keeping a soiled reputation off the Internet.  This includes setting up websites about the person, social networking profiles and search engine manipulation.  A Google search for the term "ACS Law" demonstrates just how many individuals across varying online discussion groups have been targeted by the ACS scam.  It is vital that these communities hear about this leak.  Current examples are this post on Slyck.com from P2P activist Alexander Hanff and this post on British Telecom's (BT) discussion board, indicating just how interested companies are with this information.  MORE TO FOLLOW...
