Well, after deciding I was unable to post a copy of the Davenport Lyons letter – the one that was kindly scanned in and sent to me by a mysterious benefactor – owing to the threats of legal action the company is apparently taking against anyone who distributes said letter online, I was surprised – shocked, even – to find the self-same letter posted on good-old Wikileaks.
The full letter – the same one I was unable to post – is available on their secure website, and thanks to the organisation’s modus operandi is unlikely to be going anywhere soon no matter what threats Davenport Lyons makes.
What a shame someone ignored the strongly-worded threats in the letter against publication. Oh, well – thank you, kind – and, more importantly, anonymous – Wikileaks contributor.
Well done Gareth !

The truth will out – Keep on fighting all !
[...] Posted by cabalamat on 2008-Dec-12 Davenport Lyons — a law firm that sends nastygrams to alleged file-sharers — don’t like it when their threatening letters posted on the Internet. So it’s unfortunate for them that one of their letters has turned up on Wikileaks here (as reported by Gatheth Halfacree). [...]
No problem, Ed – glad you’ve found my posts useful!

Interesting – investigated by whom? Is there any proof of these allegations?
As Harry Hill might say, “What are the chances of that happening, eh?”. Whoever that anonymous contributor was, we can only owe them thanks – and I’m pleased that you managed to find out that they’d done so in order to add to your ever-growing dossier, Mr Halfacree, sir.
Having now read the document, I can only say that I now fully support Davenport Lyons in their action against the original offender.
That anyone would to listen to Scooter in the first instance is bad enough, but to share with others should be punished with death, not a £500 “fine”.
