Ever time we see one of these stories, we all read in disbelief at how far these so-called "anti-piracy" groups will go.
Unfortunately, that disbelief has eroded completely, or is eroding fast with each new story. They now only illicit a head shake or, as Soundy reacted.. a *facepalm*, along with a long, drawn out "what next?" sigh.
I hope the Greek courts see fit to throw this out, and quickly.
You forgot to magnify the fine print in order to read the disclaimer, which is typed in a font size of .0000000069. It reads as follows:
This injunction overrides, supersedes, and makes null & void all previous and future injunctions that seek to render this injunctions null & void. Any attempt to do so shall result in the foreheads of any person(s) involved being flopped with copious amounts of phallus.
I'm issuing a super-duper-ultra-hyper-radical-extreme-triple dog dare-injunction. Effective globally, covering everything.
There, now if you speak at all, you owe me all of your income for life, and for 100 years after you assume room temperature, just in case you're worth more dead than alive.
"BC, by law (See the Personal Data Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a)) will disregard any and all requests for the identity of any individual(s) associated with the IP address(es) presented unless accompanied by a court order or subpeona."
Or, "RIAA, MPAA, et al., piss off unless you have more proof that just an IP address."
I find that if I ask someone if they're busy first, we can schedule time to talk to each other, rather than a straight phone call. It helps a lot more in respecting both party's time.
Agreed. If I actually initiate a call (rare) then I always ask the person I call if they're busy and if they have a few minutes. If they are, they say so, but also typically state they can call me back in 30 minutes or give me a later time for that eventhing or something.
Respect each others time and there should be no issues.

The views reflected in the following article do not necessarily reflect those of this [insert media type here].
Lawyers are the only ones that freak out when you say "Sure, you can repost my article, free.. no charge."
And in some cases it's always best to go by the philosophy of "if you can't be 'em, join 'em. Then when they aren't looking, beat 'em."
