Re: Teksavvy Voltage motion - Looking for some advice

Don't worry too too much about this.
There already precedents dealing with these types of cases and its why no case of this type has been won.

'Your IP is like a phone number and though its under your name there no way to know for sure who on the other end.

You could be sharing the internet or friend could be online and so on.

Never cave into this type of scare tactic.

The problem is that the precedents are all from 2004 (back when there were different laws), and from the US (which has different laws than us). Who knows what'll happen.

Precedents aren't considered null and void just because parliament changes the law. Precedents usually form the basis/reasoning for the creation of an updated version of said legislation.

Every time they update a Law doesn't mean they start over from scratch. ALL decisions to date regarding an issue are relevant UNLESS a judge's decision has been reversed on appeal.

no class action lawsuit like htis has been done in canada, and like i said they dont have any changes that state all the people being sued cant have charges fully read in court and that takes a tona time with 2300 people. NOT to mention should a person whom didnt download file (a) be in a lawsuit with a person whom downloaded a differant file and only file (b) while you have persons 3-4 that did only file (c) and file (d)
and person 5 that did them all.
seems to me like differant cases to be heard ....
