Excuse me, but it is a CRIME, no matter how insignificant you think it is.
Hear that sound? It was the Clue train passing you by.
The whole point of the debate and as was repeatedly pointed out is that modem uncapping was *NOT* a crime, there was no law against it, it was *NOT* theft of service, and as was repeatedly discussed, at best it was a violation of TOS, however, in this case, Buckeye Cable had not specified service rates/modem configurations in their TOS, so it wasn't even THAT.
So, you could argue that is was WRONG but the argument that it was a CRIME (Especially involving the Feds!) was incredibly thin (and guess what, the Court agreed!)

That is pretty much my position, summed up nicely. |
