Jail is not for Corporations who defy the will (and rights) of Citizens for profit and greed.... That's called "The American Way of Free Enterprise"....

And, in fact, many of your points are completely wrong.

First off, the courts have clear definitions of stalking. Private investigators are legal, and have clear codes. Observing someone is not an illegal activity.

Now, if the PI broke into the spouse's residence, and accessed personal files, then they could be charged, and the information would be thrown out.

As far as "you can't go to court and say oh he spied on me illegally after I stole his music collection", um, yes you can.

How do you think people get off on Warrant technicalities? When the police search property, they have a specific scope. If they exceed their scope, charges are routinely dropped. And if they don't have a warrant, they are almost certainly dropped, and would be thrown out in court, without question.

Paying someone to hack a computer is soliciting an illegal activity. Doesn't matter what the rationale :uhh:

Unfortunately, like the MPAA, you seem to think that alleged 'pirates' should have no rights. We afford more rights to rapists & murderers, but download a song without paying, and the end will justify the means.

As much as I don't agree with it, but what the MPAA did is basically calling a man or a women who hires a private I spy on their spouce a stalker.

The court will see it in the same light. Plus two wrongs may not make a right but you can't go to court and say oh he spied on me illegally after I stole his music collection.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20854324 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 21:31:04 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20852372 dks7 : I think the MPAA and those involved should serve some nice jail terms for hiring a hacker to conduct illegal activities. Lord knows us small people would be in prison for it, why shouldn't they.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20852372 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 13:09:13 EDT
