Re: Why bother? said by BF69:No you can't grasp the concept is that if you don't want to pay for it you should not have it. What people are failing to grasp, here, is that you be required to actually prove specific cases. Even if 99.999% of P2P was piracy, you should still need to prove it to impose sanctions. That is the way our justice system is supposed to work.
If you want civil sanctions, you need to prove to a judge, to some lesser degree than for criminal sanctions. But you must still offer proof.
What the entertainment industry wants is to be able to impose sanctions without even the minimal burden of proof required of civil tort cases. They want to be able to impose sanctions solely on the basis of their assertions. That is flat wrong, no matter how you look at it.
