1 edit | RIAA stupid again ... I have it in my power to manipulate my packets to appear from any IP I choose without the need of any kind of proxy server.
Those who don't have that capability can easily hide their IP by using a proxy server or connecting to a nearby open wireless connection which happens to be just about everywhere these days.
Now with all that said, the point I'm actually trying to make is that RIAA has no way of knowing who is actually connected based upon the IP alone and information from ISPs is likely to be useless too. It's very likely to instead get them to falsely accusing people right and left.
Honestly, I think both the ISPs and the courts out there, should all disregard RIAA. Meanwhile, RIAA needs to wake up and take a reality check because they obviously aren't living in the real world.
As for sending out letters to ISP customers, I'm sure every ISP is really going to be ready to jump to help RIAA after all the crud RIAA has been throwing out at ISPs. **** DEEP TONE OF SARCASM ****
None of this is to say I support file trading or piracy in any matter because the simple fact is that I don't. However, I do sincerely question RIAA's methods trying to cleanup that activity and they really do have a lot to learn. |
