Re: Ok and now the rest of the story...
LOL.
You can NOT use intent here, skippy. There are so many people who have troubles starting a computer and logging in properly. You be hard press convincing me they would know if a program is setting up a share for them to distribute "illegal" files. There is plenty of wiggle room in that argument!
As far as the real illegal downloaders... Their punishment should fit the "crime"... No more, no less... |

Hazelwood, MO | Show me where ignorance is an acceptable form of a innocence plea? If it was every dumbass in the world would claim they didnt know better for every crime ever committed. |

| Hasn't someone used the ignorance angle successfully already? I'm thinking of the old argument of leaving your wireless access point unsecured or not securing it to begin with as an out against these organizations.
I have mine secured because I don't want some scumbag trading child pr0n on my network. But then I think of the thousands of Linksys routers that are named Linksys and are wide open. If I was a heavy trader, I would use that technique now, tomorrow, and forever.
And I've seen that happen before. One night in a bar, some guy with his laptop had a P2P, usenet or torrent app open and was downloading tons of stuff on the restaurant network. It was rather amazing to me as I had never thought about doing that before. |
