In my opinion this should have all been kept as quite as possblie to stop this from happening in the first place. Now that law company is being frowned on, not just by pirates but by other people as well.

So getting your name posted on a list made public that you downloaded pirated porn is not going to make a few people think WTF if I get caught.

Whether the lawyers did enough to secure the information is to be decided. Should the lawyers be held responsible for the illegal actions of hackers?

It's entirely up to the targeted person to dispute this in court. They can take their computers to an expert or even to the lawyers for examination. Or Pirate Bay can fund a counter claim and nail the lawyers for a fine or settlement for harassment.

You are not that bright are you?

Courts live off the more work they get. Or are you saying they are sick of judging criminals?

I'm sick of pirates claiming they should not be prosecuted because an innocent person might get caught. Or it's too much trouble to go after them.

Who do they think they are 16 year old yobs with ASBOs against them.

If pirates care about the innocent or over worked courts, let them stop stealing. They don't give a fuck. They just want to be left alone to steal at will.

Yes piracy is stealing. It's stealing money out of yours, if you're in the Adult business, and my pockets.
