Duluth, GA | doesn't make sense Any half-way decent billing or customer system would not recycle account numbers or use addresses for account IDs. The Walls, who are the current tenants of the residence, are the ones filed against in the papers. If they truly don't have Internet access, or even a computer for that matter, something is seriously wrong with either the ISP/CableCo or RIAA and should be suing both. Could it be the ISP/CableCo uses phone numbers for account IDs?? Whoops!! 
And I love this quote
“The industry’s anti-piracy efforts have deterred a sizeable number of would-be illegal downloaders.” What they don't say is that this number is an exaggerated estimate. Pitiful... |
| I can point out dozens of longtime hardcore leechers who pirate for the sake of hoarding and trading (no innocent casual samplers here) who have been around since before this whole "zomfg you can downlaod songx0rz from teh intarweb!!" thing exploded in Joe Public's face.
And I can tell you not one of them has had any problem whatsoever with the so-called campaigns the xxAA cartels have been conducting. Sure they might scare away some simple-minded people, but those who want stuff badly enough will find ways.
Like getting your aforementioned neighbourhood expert to do it. $5, 5 minutes, and a DVD of 10,000+ songs can be yours. No downloading (on your side) involved. Yeah right, the xxAA campaigns sure put the fear of getting sued into us... NOT.
Meanwhile, deafening silence on the reasonable pricing front. As usual.
