Plusnet will give your personal details to ACS Law with not informing you!!
Ive just read the spreadsheet Plusnet sent to ACS:Law and an email from BT LEGALL
Quote Removed
The email is highly ironic as attached to it was the spreadsheet containing up to 400 names unencrypted.
The spreadsheet contains all data, addresses, postcodes etc.. All Downloads were Top 40 Singles UK or Cascada Evacuate the dancefloor.
I fail to see how i am on there as I didnt even live in that property at the time and have never downloaded such [Censored] music.
[Moderator's note by Barry Zubel: Quotation from email removed as per earlier advice in this thread.]
EDIT: Sorry have not read earlier posts. The email in question is available at all good torrent sites
makes for some extremely interesting reading on how BT and PN handle their sensitive business.

foxtrck: I have seen in a number of places confirmation that the spreadsheet was sent to ACS Law by Prakash Mistry of BT's legal department unencrypted.
This is the ICO's attitude to encryption: http://www.ico.gov.uk/news/current_topics/Our_approach_to_encryption.aspx If you read that it is clear that it is an absolute requirement that the data is transmitted encrypted.
You need to read Data Protection – when and how to complain and then take the appropriate action.

Very interesting thread but I am confused 
Why were Plusnet/BT willing to process another batch of IP addresses in August when ACS Law failed to provide them with a report of how many people were sent letters of claim and how many faced legal proceedings for the previous request in February?

@soft360lap1
Plusnet are now recovering costs from ACS:LAW for providing names/addresses and IP's.
I would think the ££££ is why !

Yes read the PDF doc named Plusnet_Digi_5 Aug 2010.pdf from BT Legal to ACS Law stating that they have not received a report from previous proceedings and that if the data given is not processed and reported by Dec 2010 then it shall be unlawful to use this information.
Some very interesting sensitive documents floating about
It's all coming out now just how these cowboys run their business.

If you didn't record you wouldn't have had to share it. See para 10 - why are PN logging data anyway?
And then there is para 6.
AAISP take this view:
I also agree with this point, why were PN recording data over a year????? The hit date on my record is 24.09.09, yet ACS Law should have processed that by now and reported it to PN and BT within 6 months if any action had been taken.
It is also a sham that PN is recording data and providing third party suppliers and organisations with data WITHOUT ANY CONSENT. When I asked why, i got the response:
Quote We were under no obligation to notify you prior to the disclosure of your information, although this was something we were looking at doing for future NPO orders (we weren't yet 100% on the legal implications).
