Here is one of the few good lawyers in the world.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Basically it's America's 'Copyright Enforcement Mafia', they accuse people of downloading and uploading illegal warez and offer not to take them to court if they pay 'protection'.

Curiously enough, they're an official entity.
