said by paRaMeND:I must say you have taken some liberty in stating you speak for all of us customers! You do not speak for me! I have read through all these posts and have come to a number of conclusions:
1) most people posting have no or very little understanding and knowledge of Canadian law, some are even confusing civil and criminal law, US law, old outdated law
2) under a court order TekSavvy must produce names and ip's
3) no information has yet been turned over
4) it is the court that must decide if Voltage's request has merits, not TekSavvy, you or I
5) TekSavvy does not have any grounds to oppose the motion, they are neither judge or jury and can not decide it's merits, and are not a defendant in the case.
6) Privacy laws are over ruled by a court order
7) How Voltage will proceed with this info is not known, however they do have a history of requesting payment to avoid legal action
8) anyone caught up in this who receives a request for payment, or threat of legal action can choose to fight it in court and then can oppose the merit's or actions of Voltage and/or it's agents and partners
i might argue on point 5 that an improperly filed suit that has no merit under law that states 2300 of your ip addresses made commercial use of IP , that i'd ask you in a court of law to prove how 2300 people made any profit or money of just non commercial downloading
go away refile come back and then your 10 grand per infringement disappear to a maybe 100-5000 with the low side being told by govt to judges as "undue hardship" must be taken into account.
Then one gets into other aspects of evidence....
You in a court of law do one issue at a time some times and this is a big one if they are allowed with no proof to say non commercial downloading is commercial then there is no 100-5000 penalty and ill be spending money at a court near you for ht ehell of it too. ill allege with bs data that every teksavyy user downloaded my precious and i want the names and addresses of everyone...and ill do that to show Canada that is not the way we want to go...
