Debcon – the fax garbage probably starts again

Key Facts
  • Debcon is controversial among IT lawyers who handle file-sharing warnings.
  • Many lawyers ignore the begging letters from Debcon and dispose of them.
  • The claims in Debcon letters are often arbitrary and vary greatly.
  • Debcon is probably active again and is sending letters again.
  • Clients should not take Debcon claims seriously without good reason.
  • Most of the claims stem from warnings from the scandalous law firm U+C.
  • The author plans to switch to receiving faxes by e-mail in order to save paper.

Debcon is a red rag for numerous IT lawyers who also handle file-sharing cease-and-desist letters. The reason for this is that they continue to send begging letters even after many years of being mandated, so that clients do settle the alleged claims.

I have not forwarded these faxes for a long time, I just shred them. I have also long since given up trying to understand how the random sums, which are different in every letter, are arrived at.

Probably my shredder will get some work now, because Debcon is active again:

96289178 3254302264603522 7172182934315597824 n

But also my clients do not have to be afraid, because, in contrast to possibly seriously acting file sharing warning letters, whose letters should be taken seriously and responded to, most Debcon claims probably originate, for example, from warning letters from the scandalous law firm U+C and from other worthless letters.

I guess I’ll switch back to receiving faxes by email, then I won’t have to cut down so many trees to ignore these letters 😉
