about fucking time, the court willingness to say just because your ip address was used you guilty of a copyright infringement was totally fucked up
It was bullshit to expect people to buy 20k military grade wireless routers to be safe from being procecuted for copyright infringment when a hacker uses one of those script kiddie tools to hack the wireless password. |
I am 100% against piracy, but I agree with this law. It is so easy to bum someone elses IP. It's the equivalent of being arrested because someone robbed a bank and the get away vehicle was yellow. You have a yellow car, therefore you are guilty. It's not like they are matching Liscense plates, or the equivalent mac id etc etc.
Smart ruling.
