London Lawyers Demand £600 For One Game
Barence writes "A PC Pro reader has received a demand for a £600 out-of-court settlement from lawyers claiming to have forensic evidence that he illegally downloaded a PC game on BitTorrent. The law firm, Davenport Lyons, is acting on the behalf of German games distributor Zuxxez, creator of the game in question, Two Worlds. The PC Pro reader was given no prior warning to stop file sharing, unlike the usual 'three strikes and you're out' approach adopted by the music industry. The reader says, 'To add insult to injury it [Davenport Lyons] didn't pay enough postage on the letter and I had to collect it from the sorting office at a cost of £1.30. This also used up most of the two weeks that it allowed for a response.'"
Music is prohibitively expensive right now, thanks to declining sales, not completely the fault of piracy.
I'm currently enjoying Rhythmnbox's direct connection with Magnatune and Jamendo. There's a fair bit of rubbish, but there is certainly a fair amount of talent as well.
If you really want to hear music from this mysterious duo, then perhaps search ebay/amazon for second-hand CDs.
You know, there is a difference between trolling and pointing out the flaws in your reasoning. Just saying.
