said by Teksanta:non commercial file share
can that be used as a defense? like at least im not selling , its for personal use.
you don't admit to non commercially filesharing YOU say that the ip address alone cannot prove commercial filesharing and thus giving peoples names and addresses wont make any difference.
unless they have video evidence of you at some street corner sellign dvdrs then it should not fly as commercial.
the action should then be tossed , let em refile for the max 5 grand for all infringements based on non commercial and that means all they can get max wise is 5 grand with judges having already been told that undue hardship is part of this and that for one movie you really should only get 100$ ....thats not gonna be worth suing you for...
unless i don't pay for lawyers myself and sue you as an example PLUS under 7000$ you can get legal aid.
remember im not saying anyone is or isnt guilty im looking at a fact of knowing how bittorrent works ( i actually designed a file sharing protocol 6 months before bittorrent and the reason you got rsa encryption is i threatened to make a client with encryption and made a sourceforge.net project and showed what iw as gonna do. )
so the movement of data doesn't require money ONLY money really invlve dis you paying your electricity bill, as well as the person sharing and having hardware ...
so your not profiting ....RCMP will tell you make one buck off anything and they will come for you....in fact they do and every so often you hear of raids on shop owners selling counterfeit dvdrs or some flea market....
THATS WHO they want to go after with this law...
that is what conservatives said anyhow....
