Sky Broadband customers targeted for allegedly pirating Robert Redford film

US firm TCYK, apparently named after film The Company You Keep, made Sky hand over details of customers accused of downloading movie

Dozens of UK broadband customers have received letters from a US firm accusing them of pirating a little-known Robert Redford film and inviting them to pay a financial settlement on pain of further legal action.

TCYK LLC, a legal firm apparently named after the initials of the film in question, The Company You Keep, obtained a court order against Sky Broadband this year requiring it to hand over the details of customers that TCYK alleges used torrent sites to download and distribute the film.
