| How does Verizon determine which downloads are authorized?  How will Verizon differentiate between authorized and unauthorized downloads? Then of course there is the problem of false positives. Until these weasels can determine the actual identity of the person that actually downloaded unauthorized copyrighted material the copyright control agencies are violating the basic foundation of our legal system: Innocent until proved guilty. Please review the article at the following link to see how a copyright holder can abuse our legal system.

If we use the copyright control agencies logic then if a murder is committed on the property of the president of one of the copyright control agencies, the president should be executed for the crime because it occurred on their property! |

| all they need to know is the ip address. It doesn't matter who the person was, if it came from that ip, the person that pays for service that had that IP address is responsible.
This seemed to work accurately with comcast, I see no reason why Verizon would be any different. |

| That assumes that the ISP knows who has the IP address at the time of the downloads. |

Lets assume someone steals my car and it's used in bank robbery, am i responsible for it because it was my car?
Now lets use same analogy but this time with the router. I use wep security(cheap lock) because well i don't knowany better. Someone cracked that lock and used my router for illegal activity. Should i be accountable for someone else action that used my router ? |
