BREAKING NEWS: Sky cuts all ties with ACS:Law, refuses to co-operate any further

LIVE FROM ACS:NEWS BROADCASTING CENTRE
Sky cuts all ties with ACS:Law and will no longer co-operate with the scam.  Links are coming in thick and fast, check the breaking news post below for further links.
THIS IS IMPORTANT:  We MUST contact our ISPs and demand they release an official statement ensuring they WILL NOT turn over customer information, do business with or otherwise reveal any data from their customers or logs to ACS:Law.  This event has proven that Andrew Crossley is a legalised con-man and ACS:Law is a scam operating under the pretense of a copyright protection agency; an agency unable to provide any clear evidence to support the validity of the work they carry out, nor follow even the most basic of Data Protection laws.
We want to see ALL UK ISPs fight for their customers rights and REFUSE to cave in to this exposed scam.

BREAKING NEWS: ACS:Law to be Sued for Huge Breach of Data Protection

LIVE FROM ACS:NEWS HQ
Massive news is breaking this hour as to LEGAL ACTION being taken against ACS:Law and Andrew Crossley by Privacy International (PI).  This is the first in a possible wave of action to be taken since the leak of ACS:Law's email database containing firm secrets and the full information of many of their victims including addresses and credit card numbers, amoungst a vast amount of other information.  You can view PI's full press release which, we are hearing has just gone live, HERE.

The Press Release clearly outlines how the data was obtained and distributed online, stating the importance of noting that the data was made public by ACS:Law web administrators themselves and not via an outside security breach.

Tens of thousands of pieces of information on ACS:Law victims are now publically obtainable exposing their names, addresses, phone numbers, email address, credit card details and the file(s) they have been accused of sharing online.  In many cases these are titles of pornography where the victim 'paying up' could be deemed safer to their reputation than going to court accused of sharing explicit titles online.

UPDATE:  There has now been several mainstream media reports on the situation, see the original breaking ACS:NEWS post for constantly updated links.

ACS:NEWS will be keeping you up to date on this news as it happens...
