XBIZ NEWS: Evil Angel, DigiProtect Address Controversy Over Aggressive Pursuit of P2P File Sharers

With piracy becoming an even hotter topic in recent months, the blogosphere has lit up with questions about a German company?s practice of aggressively pursuing alleged illegal file sharers on peer-to-peer networks. Of particular interest is the Frankfurt-based DigiProtect?s relationship with adult studio Evil Angel.

?Lawyers representing DigiProtect say the £500 demand is calculated as a token sum in damages for lost sales plus the ?considerable? costs involved in obtaining evidence and legal fees,? according to the BBC article.

Evil Angel owner John Stagliano told the BBC he wasn?t aware the pre-settlement notices were asking for such a sum.

"It's not my understanding that they ask for anything near that,? Stagliano told the BBC yesterday. ?I think the amount was $50. I would be very surprised and I wouldn?t be happy because it would mean it was completely misrepresented to me.?

Well, at least something active is being done.
Now what about the tubes?

- there's a bunch of companies offering that service

- it got a lot more difficult since this year cause now the person who shares the content needs to have a couple of hundred files to be prosecuted, not only 5 or 6 like before

- 500 pounds (about 700 Euro) per violation is pretty normal

- when Stagliano says he thought it's $50 i don't believe him. usually the deal with those companies is one third for the content owner, one third for the company that tracks the content and one third for the lawyers who write the letters

and yes, it can be considered as another revenue stream for content owners

Thousands of internet users have been told they'll be taken to court unless they pay hundreds of pounds for illegally downloading and sharing hardcore porn movies.

Newsbeat's found out that people across the UK have been accused of using file-sharing networks to get hold of dozens of adult titles without paying for them.
