– No answer, do not pay, is the call from the Consumer.
ITpro writes that several Norwegian people have received a letter from the Danish advokatbyrået Njord Law Firm.
Updated 18. January clock 15.50:
the Norwegian Consumer council published an article where they encourage the recipients of the letter either to pay or to respond Njord Law Firm.
– the Claim appears unjustified, and can also not be sent to a collection agency. The company does not have enough evidence to draw the slutningene they do. Should the case against the presumption to go to court, we recommend you to take contact with the Consumer, ” says Finn Myrstad in a statement.
Several people have received demands
According to ITpro they have sent out similar letters to the Danish users in several years, and that there has recently appeared such a letter in the mailbox of the norwegians.
the Company writes that they are working on behalf of rights holders and that the recipient’s IP-address should have been used to download a movie illegally. In this case it is a question of “London has fallen”. Advokatbyrået offers to close the case if the recipient pays the claim at 2700 million.
For the first I thought it was a little strange that someone can, or claim that they have been provided with the information that is claimed from Norway to Denmark. In addition, this was in a period where I was not at home, ” says Adam Ahlquist to ITpro. He is one of the norwegians who have received the “threatening letter” from the Njord Law Firm.

Paid
Ahlquist told ITpro that at first he was shocked and got a little panicked after receiving the letter. After having sought advice in the Facebook group “Help all things are possible”, he chose not to pay the claim.
The feeling I’m left with now is that if I had been naive and paid – I would have been defrauded, ” says Ahlquist to ITpro.
the Letter is signed by Jeppe Brogaard Clausen, a lawyer and partner in Njord Law Firm. To Bergensavisen informs him that they have sent out several thousand letters to Norwegian recipients the most recent 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, ” tells Clausen to the newspaper. He adds:
– We ask the two questions if this is something the recipient know. It is easy to relate to. With all respect for the recipient, we think that this is asking nicely and properly, he adds.
the Lawyer sees nothing at all wrong in that they offer to drop the case if the recipient chooses to pay the amount of 2700 dollars.
– We present an opportunity for a financial solution about one’s self or children illegal has seen a film. Get the pay without having been in dialogue with us. It is a skrøne that people pay out of fright. But of course, it is not pleasant to get a letter from the lawyer stating that anything illegal has taken place of the IP address, he explains to the newspaper.
– Emerging as a threatening letter
Bergensavisen writing that they have been contacted by several norwegians in recent days who have received the same letter as Ahlquist. They are not further excited for the practices to the Danish advokatbyrået.
Disclosure of the IP address after a court order is perfectly fine. It does not mean, however, that they have identified the person who has committed an offence. They do not have enough evidence to draw slutningene they do in the letter. This appears as a threatening letter, ” says Finn Myrstad, medical director for digital services in the Consumer, to Bergensavisen.
