Defamation lawsuits

If I was at all smart, and received a letter in the post extorting money because someone using my IP had ALLEGEDLY downloaded hardcore gay porn, I might counter-sue for defamation. Love to see that case come to court. Except it wouldn’t, because the blackmailers would just settle as they wouldn’t want everyone to know [...]
