In my previous job I received many complaints from specialist contractors working on behalf of rights holders (relating to domain names not downloading) and they always demonstrated poor technical competency by those contractors.
I doubt this has improved and so it is likely that a thorough examination of the technical details of the complaint will turn up significant flaws in the way they complaint has been generated.
It would be useful if there were a volunteer team ready to conduct this examination that the first set of accused could call on. That way we might be able to discredit the methodology at an early stage.

What's unclear to me is whether the Tribunal would be bound by a Court's determination that the process followed by rights-holders' lackies was unsupportable as evidence. If so, getting a ruling from the High Court could have everything the rights holder tried to admit dumped into a judicial /dev/null. That would cost a few grand, but it would be money well-spent, IMO, particularly since there are likely to be lawyers and forensics experts who'd work pro bono and the costs would come down to court costs. -- Matthew Poole "Don't use force.
