ACS:LAW's Greedy friends have lost their minds!

Hi all I am posting this link but am sure I am the "Last to know this one"

"Hurt Locker producer: criticizing our lawsuits makes you a moron and a thief "
http://www.boingboing.net/2010/05/18/voltage-pictures-pre.html

I actually watched Hurt Locker and was soooo dissapointed that I asked for my ticket money back for "failure to provide the services promised" I know I am in a small minority according to IMBD it was a "Good Film" I could not agree less. When I read this post I felt somewhat vindicated and certainly will not be watching anymore of their crap in the future. As far as I was concerned I was swindled out of the money I paid to watch it and was NOT reimbursed as I would have been for any other service or product that had not lived up to my expectations.

Nicolas Chartier was BANNED from the academy awards for lobbying the committee for the "Best Picture" award that is laughingly won. Dont get me wrong I did not think Avatar was as good as it was made out to be either, HOWEVER it was downloaded over 300,000 times and is now the biggest grossing movie of ALL time. Why? I think because people saw it on the small screen thought , "DAMN that will be AMAZING at the cinema", and went and watched it, and told their mates to do it to!  According to the House of Lords Avatar was subject to 300,000 illegal downloads BEFORE the film was released yet now it is the BIGGEST grossing film of all time.  As the Lords said it was "300,000 free adverts"  "See here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye84j0fuKHI"

This just bolsters my opinion that these lawyers are simply looking at ways of recouping money through LACK of sales, NOT because they have been downloaded but simply because they are CRAP and substandard. 

Dunlap Weaver and Grubb AKA "US Copyright Group" and also the self-righteous "Save Cinema.org!"  Of course these people have NO interest in actually STOPPING downloading at all, they are "Money Grubbers".  The split is roughly 70% to the Lawyers and 30% to the "Copyright holding company" you can imagine the pittance that the actual "Creative people" get from that.

But I digress, in a sense "Hurt Locker" seems an exception to the usual bunch of crap that is represented.  For Example Uwe Boll is considered the new "Ed Wood" a Director SO inept that most of his films feature at the VERY bottom of ANY thinking person.  Dont believe me? see here.

There are others but you get the point, these are REALLY awful films, the type people would not download if someone paid them!

http://farcry-settlement.com/  This is actually a page you can go to to just pay up!!!! This is a TERRIBLE way of doing things, and I call on ALL of you to RESIST these people with EVERY fibre of your being. (Please dont eat or drink anything whilst viewing this page as you may choke on the hubris)

Remember this group is the VERY group that Andrew Crossley of ACS:LAW has been crowing about being in partnership with.

Contact your MP, Contact the Lords, Contact the SRA.  Do something DO NOT ASSUME that someone else is doing it for you! http://www.theyworkforyou.com/

This is as a wit put it "The movie industry  merely suing those with bad taste" or as the House of Lords put it "Straight forward legal BLACKMAIL"

Remember when Lawdit had to "payup" for linking ACS:LAW with Davenport Lyons?

….Well it seems that Lawdit was RIGHT all along. Here is a "screenshot" from Lawdit concerning the issue. From 13th May 2009 

 

And here almost a year later, the truth is exposed from ACS:LAWs own mouth!

 Moral for you ACS is that when you LIE online, you will always be caught out! 

The News that Lawdit had been censured by ACS:LAW was a blow to many of us who had only then just received these letters. Lawdit have proved to be an excellent Solicitors and very generous with their time and advice. 

The Link in all this is again the Shadowy figure of Terence Tsang, who left Davenport Lyons just as the SRA were closing in on them to join ACS:LAW, and now true to previous form he has left ACS:LAW again just as the SRA are closing in on them to.

It remains to be seen if Tsangs new Firm Cramer-Pelmont will continue the sad and depressing episode of persuing innocent people with wild accusations. Of course we DO know that Terence has his OWN "Monitoring" Software now!
