Story: UK man threatened with BitTorrent lawsuit

Its so wrong when big companies threaten people in a way such that they are made to feel they could not afford for the case to go too court.

The Courts system is the cornerstone of our system for deciding fairness and justice yet these large companies with large legal departments try to bypass the courts by making threats like "you won't be able to afford the court case". Its only due to the hold-ups and delays caused by these high-powered legal departments that such legal cases are unaffordable to the general public

This effectivly denies the defendant a right to a court hearing and thereby takes away a cornerstone of UK and EU Human rights law, yet its totally legal.
