"They do not know, and cannot know who that user actually is until the ISP reveals it. The result? "Without additional information, the Court has no way to evaluate the defendants’ jurisdictional defenses"."
Actually this wont give them the name of the Doe that did the infringement, it will only give them the IP address of the modem of which was used to do the infringing.
Drive down any major city street and see how many open wireless APs you find. To go further, how about Viruses on the ones that ARE secure? That is like the speeding ticket I got a couple of years ago. I was apparently tagged for doing 55 in a 35. They had a picture of my plate. The date and time of the incident? The car was in the shop getting a tuneup and get the breaks fixed. I went to court and it was thrown out. Soon after the police lost funding for their cameras. Apparently around 84% of the cases that went to court got thrown out because they couldn't tell who was driving. Another 9% got off with a warning.

Re: Re: Piracy violates creators' rights. It gives money to pirate websites that have no rights. What else is there?
the link given works if you add periods in the spaces. its an interesting read from a site run by the RIAA of Canada with quotes from a doctor in Australia. Sadly this doctor knows little about actually researching things and just looked at numbers fed to him.
“Our review of existing econometric studies suggests that P2P file-sharing tends to decrease music purchasing,” said the study. “However, we find the opposite, namely that P2P file-sharing tends to increase rather than decrease music purchasing.”
The study angered the Canadian Record Industry Association (CRIA) which has fought a bitter battle to discredit, so far unsuccessfully, the study ever since."

I wonder if THIS is where the report in Aussie land came from...makes you kinda wonder hmmm? Thanks AC for pointing this article to me. Maybe this will help Torrentfreak find what he needs.
Because artists actually have to make good songs to sell an album. The old days they only needed one, maybe two to sell an album, the other 8-10 could be crap
Ummm...so you are saying that Blizzard updating their game clients is illegal? Windows update (newer than the versions in XP) is illegal? They all use Torrent files. Linux distributes in torrent files as well. I offer pictures I take at conventions (like this weekend at PAX) via torrent...
"I know that I would rather pay a few extra dollars to get good content legally, but not everyone is like me. "
I think most people would. There are things that I will download to see if I want to buy it. If I like it I go buy it, if not, I wont and it gets removed from everything I own.
I have also had this issue with CDs I own cracking and such during moves (I tend to move a good deal) I don't worry because I have now digital copies from either before or after (I still hold onto the cracked CDs) There is no reason for me to buy and rebuy content I already own.
