New Prenda Law Shell Corp Threatening to Tell Your Neighbors You Pirated Porn
It appears that Prenda Law, freshly defeated, has formed a new shell company named the "Anti-Piracy Law Group," and has resumed sending threatening letters to supposed porn pirates. But this time, they've expanded their threats (from a letter (PDF) sent to Fight Copyright Trolls): "The list of possible suspects includes you, members of your household, your neighbors (if you maintain an open wi-fi connection) and anyone who might have visited your house. In the coming days we will contact these individuals to investigate whether they have any knowledge of the acts described in my client’s prior letter"
Naturally, the letter also notes that the recipient can avoid having the list of videos they supposedly copied sent to their neighbors and family if they settle for a few thousand bucks...
1. I am not ashamed to admit I watch porn.
2. Watching porn is something I do with the windows open so my asshole shithead neighbor across the street's wife can watch.
3. Yeah you asshole. Your wife likes to watch me stroke.
4. I am not ashamed to admit I watch porn.

They can know I watch it, just as long as they aren't telling everyone I watch the wrong type.

Hey, cut the Prenda guys some slack. They really need to earn some spending money, what with their upcoming dismissal from the bar and possible RICO prosecution...
It is in fact illegal in the US as well.
Although "blackmail" is such an ugly word. I prefer "extortion" - the X makes it sound cool.

Only way to stop them is to lock them up or disbar them.
Why "or"?
You must gather your party before venturing forth.
Secretly?
For large sets, this will be our guide even unto death, for the LORD will work for each type of data it is applied to...
