I *might* be in a bit of trouble with FACT.

Anyone know how they work?

They likely to just tell me off or try and really get me done?

Its no help to you, but what ISP were/are you with etc? No need to give any incriminating details, but itd be good to know

as long as you havent been selling, you should just get a slap on the wrist

Make sure anything illegal is backed up and well away from the computer, erase incriminating evidence on the PC, then ignore them.

Fast are guaranteed to be after bigger fish than you.

Deny everything and say some one broke your account via your computer and they had also accessed other sites using information stored in cookies.

Or just say you have no idea what theyre talking about

would be quite difficult to deny, when I say I sold a few its more like 400.

hopefully they just tell me to stop, but if they do more i suppose Ill just have to take it on the chin.

Was this to fund drugs, or guns?
According to fact, all piracy is linked to organised criminal networks.

6-12 months I reckon

(what manuals you got) -)

DEViANCE · February 25, 2009, 22:57:10 PM

lol not quite. doesnt really fund anything. I make about 20p on each one i sell.

knighty · February 25, 2009, 22:57:44 PM

wow... sounds like you had a good business going there

ignore them and keep going

EDIT:

just read the 20p bit

increase prices by 20p

double your profit in one easy move !

So what manuals were you selling,
If it does come to something, I do know people in the know.
Youll get a knock on the door at 5am, anything that can play a cd or dvd will be taken, games consoles the lot.

DEViANCE · February 25, 2009, 23:20:48 PM

this is probably going to get me in more trouble but what the hell.

Fair prices and I think you are doing a good public service.

knighty · February 25, 2009, 23:35:44 PM

I dont think theyll bother with you tbh... bigger fish out there.... theyre really there to protect the film/music/ game people who fill there pockets !

EDIT: p.s why post them ? why not set up an automatic system to email them to the buyer when they pay ?

Ive bought manuals on ebay in that past and thats how its worked for me...

would save you some work, could sell worldwide etc... ?
