If so, the anti-ACS gurus at Slyck would like to hear from you.  Go here to find out more.

It doesn't matter if it was your first letter, second, response to a letter of denial or anything else.

We need to keep the news of the ACS:Law scam alive and not allow Andrew Crossley to sneak back into the shadows after the breaking news throughout the past two and a half weeks.

ACS:News recommends you include the following information in your post or message to SlyckTom:
- Date letter received
- What ACS:Law is claiming
- Whether or not it's your first letter
- If you chose to include a scan of your letter remember to block out your personal details (you can do this in Paint)

Your help will put together further journalistic investigation and exposure to the ACS:Law scam which is systematically being torn apart day by day.  Your help is greatly appreciated.

You can also catch up with other people who have received an ACS:Law letter in the near-500-page-long help thread, where you can also post information if you've been targeted by a similar firm.

BREAKING NEWS: Pirates release ACS:Law 'megapack' of music, tell Andrew Crossley where to shove his letters

ACS:NEWS LIVE FROM LONDON:

News is breaking this morning to the release of a pack via Usenet, BitTorrent and other file sharing platforms which is looking to be one of the biggest insults to ACS:Law since the catastrophically embarrassing email leak.  Inside the pack are all 15 albums and 1 song 'forbidden' from being distributed online by ACS:Law.

We now go live to our reporter in London for more.

From the vast amount of data accumulated online via people who have received letters from ACS:Law in the past, along with the fresh leaked emails, the Internet has managed to compile an extensive list of all the titles currently 'protected' by the rogue law firm.

It is thought that the 'avoid' list will crush ACS:Law's revenue system while hardcore pirates show Andrew Crossley that they cannot and will not be stopped by sharing the music pack on the vast, decentralised BitTorrent protocol.

This has been taken directly from the 'nfo' (text file accompanying the release) of the forbidden music pack, a screenshot of which can be found HERE or HERE:

{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:

Right, so here we have the full list of forbidden music Andrew Crossley and ACS:Law have been targeting people over, courtesy of Slyck.com.  Big up to Slyck for compiling the list and respect to the original rippers and releasers of this little lot.

Why has this been created?  Well, several reasons...

One; to prove how easily we at WANKERS could acquire these albums and songs.  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 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 and other such Anti-P2P organizations.  We are the future.   "

A quick scour of the Internet shows that the release can be downloaded via BitTorrent from any of the following mirrors:
