Lawfirm Seeking 12.5 Million Pounds for Downloaded Porn

Innocent people are receiving demands for payments for porn movies, despite being incapable of ordering them.

What would you do if you found a bill for over 500 pounds for downloading porn along with your newspaper? What about it if was with a 20 page legal document explaining that if you didn't pay for 'Army F***ers', you would be taken to court?

According to Slyck.com and torrentfreak, approximately 25,000 of these letters have gone out; a quick bit of math gives puts the damages being asked for in the neighborhood of £12.5 million. That's almost double Cloverfield.

The firm allegedly responsible for sending these bills, Davenport Lyons, is attempting to recuperate costs made from these films by charging people who download them; as is fair under copyright law. However, the people getting billed often are incapable of downloading them. They are often in possession of routers though, and a wireless router is very easy to hack into.
