Teksavvy Appears to Have Failed to Address Privacy Responsibilities In Today’s Hearing:

»jkoblovsky.wordpress.com/2013/01···hearing/

While watching 3 twitter feeds today it appeared as though Teksavvy did directly challenge some of Voltages evidence, or signaled it’s intention to do so. I even tweeted with respect to that. Todays media reports paint a completely different picture. While I was not in the court room, it seems the calls that Teksavvy has come out from hiding behind rocks and sticking up for customers may be a bit premature. I don’t think in today’s hearing they have completely satisfied their responsibility in that regard. The CIPPIC has been granted intervention status, but that should not absolve Teksavvy’s legal responsibilities to its customers under privacy law, and in order for anything that’s done by the CIPPIC moving forward to stick in other cases, Teksavvy must get involved in directly challenging the evidence. If a precedent is set by the CIPPIC, and ISPs are still hiding under rocks, it’s not going to be used going forward. I’ll explain in my forthcoming comments.

I’m going to be taking a few days off on blogging on this to watch, read and learn. I’ve sparked off a national debate on the subject, and would ask all consumers interested to keep informed and up to date. There’s a lot to digest including some very important points for the future of digital policy going forward.

I’m also currently editing my podcast due up on Wednesday on a completely different and fun topic, last weeks Consumer Electronic Show. Once that’s done I’ll have some time to write a bit more on this, and by then I’ll have a clearer picture on what transpired in the court room today.

Have any of you heard the saying
"Like lamb to slaughter"
You are witnessing it right now, Voltage, their troll lawyers, Canipre, and their principle owners have been and continue to be led down the garden path. We now have sworn statements in court that can be used against them. Their little get rich quick scheme has already bankrupted several former partners, including lawyers representing them, and others who represented themselves as "experts" in forensics for internet downloading. These poor bastards have a long and dirty tract record worldwide. They have been found guilty in at least two countries, are in multiple legal cases in the US as DEFENDANTS.

Lets give them just a little more rope to properly hang themselves.

Good to hear, and you might want to dump the tin foil for a faraday cage headpiece instead so you can get air thru to the brain, its really hard to think without oxygenating

The Judge, unlike his American counterparts is interested in the "facts", and wants to understand the entire process before making a ruling.

The American judges (though they seem to be waking up) have been living rubber stamps for the various copyright holders.

My guess is that Voltage expected it to be a cakewalk like in the US, the costs of pursuing this is going to be far higher then they can ever expect to recoup, if TSI is asking for 190K to cover their expenses, I can't imagine what it's going to cost when it's all said and done.

No, I didn't. Honest... I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake.......

I was thinking if there is a downside to this it is that there will probably be another judge at the next hearing
