Copyright Lawyer Drops File-Sharing Cases, Misses Court Date

Copyright lawyers that sue file sharers are an odd bunch to start with but this kind of behavior is even weird for them.

Today a judge-ordered hearing took place in the Patents Court to decide how to handle all cases filed by ACS:Law against alleged file-sharers. Despite claims by the law firm that they have no fears of going to court, last week all the cases were dropped and today, supported by claims of "an unfortunate family accident", company owner Andrew Crossley failed to attend the hearing. All this as a new, mysterious and already controversial company appears to front the entire operation. And immediately backs out.
