Re: Some things I've never understood.... 1. Downloading copyrighted content from a specific IP address is probably a pretty good giveaway 
2. I'm assuming since they appear to work on behalf of the copyright holders that they have obtained permission. Entrapment pertains to law enforcement agencies if I'm not mistaken.said by Bahnzo:This kind of bullshit starts with the ISP's and their willingness to be errand boys for these companies. It's good to see most ISP's are demanding court orders before they give out information, but there are plenty that just don't care or bother to really understand what is happening. The easy answer for ISPs has typically been to forward the letters. They're simply acting as a delivery service. |

Loveland, CO | 1. I said proving tho. It's easy to pick out an IP addy and accuse them of piracy, but what actual proof do they have?
2. Yeah, but it's kind of like a banker standing outside handing out $100 bills and then calling the cops claiming people are robbing the bank. I'm surprised that noone questions this..... |

2. What's to check? |
