If you keep reading:

Nexicon is developing a technology that tracks users who share music and film illegally, and then demands payment for the downloaded file.
I thought there was a legal problem with going after downloaders. I don't get this business model, how do they prove that the downloader dosen't have the rights to the music? If you go after the uploaders, it cuts into potential profits.

Phish Stick It

So if I could see one of those emails, I could craft a similar spam. I might accuse IP addresses, allocated to the ISP I target, of DMCA violations.

I could even set up a phish page with the domain GetAnmesty.com, to collect fees or credit card information.

At the least, I could cause havoc just by accusing scores of folks of piracy and having their ISPs aid me in bulling innocent people into paying money to Nexicon.

If I could pay a congressman enough to get legislation passed that would legalize my scheme, I'd have TKJunkMail's defending me all across this very forum!

Cuz' then it'd be legal and the victims would be bad people cuz' the LAW do say they is.
