the Case is updated.
It has been many months since a lot of Danish “pirates” received a threatening letter from a law firm .
In the letter was mottagerne made aware that their IP address was linked to the downloading of copyrighted material, and they were further encouraged to pay a total of around a couple of thousand kroner for that matter would not be taken further.
Now uses the same Danish law firm – Njord Law Firm – the same skremselstaktikken towards Norwegian consumers.
“London has fallen”
“file Sharing and the downloading of the movie “London has fallen” is the title of the letter Takes.en has received a bildekopi of.
the LETTER: This letter has appeared in a number of Norwegian mailboxes the last few days.
It must be stated further in the letter that the said film shall be registered finely divided/downloaded via the and the the IP address on it, and the time – then without consent from the film’s copyright holder.
So the letter’s recipient to a settlement offer, where Njord Law Firm offers to close the case against that person, scroll up 2700 Norwegian kroner. The letter is neither a bill or a fine, but an offer of settlement.
The individual IP address is assigned to has the law firm received the individual internettilbyder. This is also completely in line with the current regulations , which says that those who will can – after having notified to the data Inspectorate – monitoring possible fildelere and claim the identity behind the current IP addresses disclosed.
Now also have the smaller internet providers to block the Pirate Bay
– Will not hold in court
Take.en has been in contact with the Consumer, where the medical director for the digital services Finn Myrstad is clear that the law firm goes forward in completely the wrong way.
This is a very strange way of working, we think. An IP address is not an indicator that can be used to determine that someone has done something illegal. In each case, not the specific person – so this would not held in court.
Myrstad is also not thrilled that the request to appear and be perceived as a threatening letter.
– First we were wondering if it was scam, then if it was a part of a campaign from the rights holders to inform them that it is illegal to download a movie. But then it is very strange they do it to scare people instead of creating good solutions and tell how one can download the film legally.

Encourage you to dispute the claim
For those who would receive such a claim and has not downloaded or shared any movie, is the solution to defend the claim.
– Up to several who have contacted us today to have been on vacation during the time they according to the law firm should have downloaded something, explains Myrstad.
So what to do then?
– This holds not legal, so then it is only to defend the claim. If you haven’t downloaded anything so no one has downloaded anything.
A Danish website, which, in greater detail, takes the letter and the options it provides, has, moreover, a suggestion for a suitable wording.
– Want to get illegal file-sharing to life
Attorney and partner in Njord Law Firm, Jeppe Brogaard Clausen, tell Bergensavisen.now that the law firm has sent out several thousand letters to Norwegian recipients the last week.
– A general opplysningskampanje do not have sufficient effect. Therefore, we selected these letters to get the illegal downloading and file sharing for life. Since we started up in Denmark in 2014 we have tried to find a form of communication that is not too aggressive, but neutral and informative, ” says Clausen to the BA.no .
According to Clausen are the letters supposed to be an awareness campaign informing of the fight against illegal downloading, so that is not the movie industry lose income.
Over time we have been surprised by the positive effects. We have seen a drop in file-sharing here in Denmark, so it is interesting for the film industry with a similar effect in Norway, ” says Clausen to the BA.no.
