| in a pigs a** The riaa has lost precedent after precedent on this one.. the only thing they can possibly force these people they sue, is to buy an "all you can eat" download service.. other than that they have NO CASE.. its the only thing reasonable.. and if they're WRONG, they should-- that's right: EAT ALL LEGAL COSTS. | |

@alaweb.com | Fight Back Gee, I guess my decision 4 years ago NOT to buy new CD's in protest of the RIAA was a good one. Shop Ebay and used CD stores, people. Screw the RIAA. | |

| Solution? If the AP is a private AP used for inside a business and authorized user's only then a user should not be held responsible since his connection has been "broken" into.
If it where a public hotspot, more than likely they will have to be responsible for there connection. Meaning when you try now to use that free AP at the local coffee shop you will have to agree to a contract before your allowed access.
On top of that keep a record of those who used the AP and have there laptop serial or MAC address written on the receipt and business copy. So if the cop's come notching on the manager's door he can simply look at the logs and say this data came from such and such customer. Which has there name and showing them that they agreed to use the free AP.
So the company can still provide the service and not held liable for abuser's. Of course let a detective handle this light weight crap.

Bradenton, FL | Rewrite case law So what the RIAA is saying is, if someone steals your car and uses it to rob a bank, then the person who owns the car is responsible not the person who robs the bank.
Looks like the RIAA is trying to rewrite case law. | |

| Re: Rewrite case law And what happens if you have a US Chrysler Corporation product that is two years old or older. Everyone knows that the security they provide is useless and a punk with a screwdriver can get in and start it in under a minute. There are numerous legal open hotspots.
What up the companies that sell prepaid dialup internet? Shouldn't they be responsible as well?
Viperpa33s asked: "if someone stelas your car and uses it to rob a bank, then the person who owns the car is responsible not the person who robs the bank. " I suspect that the RIAA's position would be that the car owner, the parking lot attendant who didn't catch the thief, and the company which paved the road on you which your stolen car traveled to and from the bank would all be liable as well as the car thief." | |
