The fight against pirates doesn't always pay

If the fight against piracy intensifies and is codified via legislation, certain related conduct is not to be accepted.
It began with the case now called Call of Juarez. Techland, the Polish publisher of this software mandated a Swiss company, Logistep AG, to track illegal downloading of its software over P2P networks.
The publisher appointed lawyers to find the identities of the persons in question, and ask them to pay compensation.
In France, advocate Elizabeth Martin was entrusted with the job. Thousands of people have received a missive requesting them to pay € 400 to avoid the horrors of a trial (see here) for a detailed history.
But the method used by the lawyer and her firm has been criticized, and other lawyers ready to fight back.
The case has drawn the attention of the bar of Paris, who have just taken important disciplinary action against this important lawyer.
She could have been banned from exercising her profession as a lawyer for 6-month sentence and was banned from professional associations and the opportunity to sit on the governing bodies for 10 years.
This heavy sentence was motivated by her overly aggressive attacks, but also by her refusal to disclose the number of people who agreed to pay that sum. It should also be noted that the money in question was deposited in a private account and not in a specific account at the Carpa as the procedure requires.
