Re: Why we are not opposing motion on Monday. said by Optional:Seriously considering taking my business elsewhere. I want to know that my privacy is just that, PRIVATE.
I'm considering this as well. The lack of privacy is huge issue for me even though I'm not accused. Well that and TSI will be nothing but a huge target for copyright lawsuits after this. |

| Indeed, if TekSavvy isn't going all out now when the laws are being brought into question, what can we really expect from them in the future, especially if the lawsuits ramp up? |

Took the words right out of my mouth.. The wrongfully accused and the genuinely wrongfully accused will always be at risk since there is no "firewall" to protect them even the slightest.

I believe I'll be doing the same and i'll be moving my father and grandmother off of it as well. Though i'm the one who setup their routers it still worries me. |

| Recall the days of istop. They had a proxy you had to go through to connect to the internet. So if Teksavvy had something similar what would voltage do? Either they would charge everyone with an internet connection or charge no one. |

Well you watch what Bell, Rogers and the other indies do. I can almost guarantee if they are targeted they will not inform their customers and simply pass on their records.
Good luck to both of you. |

It's privacy issue as I said I'm not named in the lawsuit but I gave TSI personal information and some slime ball from Canpire can get it handed to him on silver platter with a few illegal scare tactics. Stop with the fanboy BS, really. |

Then what is your problem? You are not named in the lawsuit so your information is not affected and either way, ISPs are LEGALLY required to keep logs for cases like this. They will not hand over information to just anyone without a lawful request but if it comes to it, they CANNOT evade a court order. |

Has Teksavvy actually released any information? My understanding is this motion is to get the court order that would force them to turn it over. |

I thought we'd established that there isn't a legal requirement to keep the logs, but that an ISP basically can't function without them. I may have missed something. |

==============================================
... on the other hand they could be watching what's going in here and decide to oppose any motion to disclose when they get targeted. And if they win? More customers to them? No?
Of course, you could be right, they may just cave in right away! Oh well.. |

No one wins.. the ISP would have to take on the enormous legal fees for their own motives which these days would only result in short term gain and even if they end up winning the case, there goes an increase on your bill so in the end you still pay. |

I'm trying to dig up some info as I thought there was something in the privacy laws about it.
But also even if it's not in the law, you could make the argument, that if TSI didn't keep logs which then they would have to come back with "sorry, we don't have IP subscriber data" the court could view it as trying to evade the court order. |

So we should all be happy Teksavvy isn't opposing Voltage because they will save money and that means our monthly bill won't go up? Come on. |

Confused. What "enormous legal fees"??? We are talking about opposing a motion. This is not a trial. Nobody is asking Tek to defend its customers in a trial. This is one heck of a cheaper deal than a trial. Beside, there is a huge upside to the ISPs. If this kind of bull is nipped at the bud, others won't even try it and then the ISP's won't have to spend time ratting on their customers and getting bad press. Instead, they could spend their time and energy in their business. |

No, it's just not realistically the ISPs job to protect you from the law. If you crossed the street at a red light, bit of an odd example but would you expect the traffic light manufacturer to bail you out of jail? |

Not in a million years. Nobody can be compelled to do something that a law does not compel you to do. If a judge would tried it, the order would be appealed and striken so fast your head would spin and the judge would be admonished. |

Voltage and all of the other copyright trolls are not the law. If Bell, Rogers & Shaw can stand up for their customers then so can Teksavvy.
If you aren't familiar with how copyright trolls operate then you should look into it. Then you'll realize how bad those comparisons you made are. |

Point taken so presumably they could do that.. but they've already identified subscribers by sending out notices so can't go back now or questions would be raised. |

Well I'd certainly like to see the last case where Bell and Rogers represented their customers. |
