Re: Hmmm
said by jc100  :Nope.. not at all. So in order to get around such shaky ground, the RIAA sends someone to download the file and log such activity. There by, they claim the person broke the law and that they now had net losses. Easy fix. That would require breaking the law.

Hazelwood, MO | Nice try, but if the company they hire to download the files were given authorization to do such (which they would be as that is what they were hired for), then that company is not breaking any law. |

No. Entrapment is a very tough defense that RARELY if ever works. I mean the police these days pretend to be kids and snare people. The person on the other line is an adult, yet they get them for attempted solicitation of a minor. That is entrapment but they still get those people. That's just one example. The only time I CAN EVER remember the entrapment defense working in a major case would be with Delorean. Delorean was approached by the FBI to sell drugs after his was going bankrupt. T hey then got him on drug charges and he won on the defense they approached him and not vice versa. However, 99.99 percent of the time, you're shit out of luck with that defense. |
