Re: Letter of claim - p2p

Nobody should be in any doubt - if you are using P2P software to share
files that are copyright, without permission from the copyright holder,
and if the owner can prove that you have done so,

And - crucially - that you *know* that you have done so, and the owner
can show that you knew that. That is in the Act.

there is really no
doubt that you are liable in damages and may also be criminally liable.

It would be unusual to find criminal liability unless the offender was
doing it for commercial gain.
