Well, I think it was a hoax, and an obvious one at that: The hoaxer was Ken Webster himself and if you’ll notice, he was never denied access to the various attempts of communication, but managed to play the role of the puzzled schoolteacher who (in Cheshire county, where else) had his boring life invigorated by a nice mystery, thus also perhaps hoping to save the fading relationship with his girlfriend, who stayed with him while he was renovating the old cottage with little enthusiasm and slow progress.
I hold that as Ken was never out of the loop and couldn’t be denied access to his borrowed work computer, all he had to do was a little programming to ensure time-delayed creation of the interesting files.
If you want more than just the more likely explanation from me, the debunking should simply focus on Ken’s general activities before, during and after the event.
I think a pattern will soon emerge to show him up.
I’ve read a fair bit of articles on this subject, and it’s actually rather puzzling how everybody seem to forget to evaluate the activities of the most central person, Ken Webster himself!
I think many like me realized that he was the loose cannon, but chose not to kill the thrill by focusing on him.

For two main reasons I tend to believe the original Paul did die:
1) I didn’t follow the Beatles back in the sixties, I liked most of their music, but couldn’t joint the hysteria. I happen to have exceptionally keen facial recognition and I remember watching Paul some time in the late 60s, thinking „is that still the same guy“ without knowing anything about any accident, and I asked a friend who was a big fan if something had happened to Paul. He didn’t think so and I forgot about the whole thing until today, watching this video from „WF?“ and decided to find out – and I think I did:
2) The accident was late summer 1966, right. Well, there’s a very good VEVO Official of Paul introducing „Yesterday“ from 1965 with closeups during performance and an equally good one from Germany live November 1966. Now „Yesterday“ fitted Paul’s voice perfectly and he sang it with great confidence and ease when he introduced it in 1965.
But the latter performance is shockingly different if you compare end to end. The timing and punctuation is distinctly different, Paul is now struggling in the low notes and his voice has a new sharpness (and clarity) in the high register. This is so obviously a different man – who nevertheless turned out to be highly gifted musically as well, but is lacking the humorous quirks and surprising associations which were Paul I.
In short, Paul II is much more pedestrian than Paul I.

We will never upload our consciousness!
Consciousness — the awareness of our sensorium, our doing and being — is not a product of our mind!
Consciousness is the prerequisite for all forms; itself formless, limitless, eternal and untouchable. We may contemplate uploading our mind to some matrix — have in fact been fantasizing about this since the 70s — but one human mind is at least as complex as the entire milky way galaxy with as many neurons as there are stars, each with approximately 20,000 connections to other cells and neurons, and each contacts, synapse, can be tweaked to facilitate transmission or inhibit it. Contacts can even be remolded with changing demands.
But assume we could upload the mind, the copied mind would still not have any self awareness, presence or consciousness, and unless given tasks and demands by way of some external interface, would quickly lose its ability to change focus. It would go "mad", but without any healing resources of its own available…
