So are they basing this on you downloading it or on making it available for others? Apologies for the top post... -- Leigh Porter On 10 May 2011, at 14:40, "Jon Lewis" <jlewis () lewis org> wrote:

I thought that there might be some interest in the list of these addresses : http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/threatlevel/2011/05/expendibleipaddresses.pdfIt wasn't that good a movie, so I guess they need to squeeze every bit of $ they can out of anyone who saw it. I bought it a a Blockbuster liquidation sale (having not seen it previously).http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/05/biggest-bittorrent-case/ This is turning into quite a legal racket (get order $ 3000 for sending a threatening letter); I expect to see a lot more of this until some sense returns to the legal system.I wonder how things go if you challenge them in court. This is surely a topic for another list, but it seems to me it'd be fairly difficult to prove unless they downloaded part of the movie from your IP and verified that what they got really was a part of the movie. If they're going after any IP that connected to and downloaded from an agent of the studio (and thats what it sounds like) who hosted the file, can they really expect to prosecute people for downloading something they were giving away? Wouldn't that be like the RIAA making bootleg copies of audio CDs, giving them away, and then prosecuting anyone who accepted one? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis, MCP :) | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________ ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
