If I sent you an email with your public IP on it saying you were downloading "Jumbo Knockers - Part 3" on Saturday 12th of October 2015 at 12:05, and this is copyrighted material for which you don't have the rights to be copying, how is that proof? If I sent you an email saying "I saw your wife having sex with another guy, that wasn't you, in a park last weekend, yep, it definatly happend" - is that proof? Would you confront her on such a ridiculously loose claim? How about if I sent it from you local .police.uk domain name? Ah, it must be undeniably true now! I don't disagree with some of the points others have raised, however I am not going to potentially accuse my customer of breaking the law without someone giving me something a bit more realiable to go on :) Even if the media company is correct, they haven't given me anything reliable to go on. If it is a company in the UK and they can serve me with a legal request then I will happily oblige. I'm not a total cunt, for the record, just not a total cunt either.... James.
