I don't see how this should matter... Just because your account might be involved with the downloading of media files doesn't mean that you (the account holder's name) is personally responsible. It seems to me to be admissable in a court of law the person commiting the offense would have to be personally caught in the act.

Otherwise it brings up the same question parking tickets do... Just because your car might have gotton a parking ticket doesn't mean you, the owner, was responsible for parking your vehicle.

It would sure take a helluva lot of the fun out of the net if they killed piracy.

I reckon they're just letting us know that they're keeping an eye on us.

They don't want to look like they're giving away free stuff. They're just trying to frighten away the sheeple.

That just ain't true. If they wanted our balls they coulda had them by now.
They make money out of us!!!

I don't suppose among all the biologists, doctors and physicists, we have a lawyer on this board who could give us some answers?

They are very interested in putting at least a couple of people in prison, just to make examples of them, in the hopes that it scares the rest of the file sharers off of Kazaa.

I think they are shooting themselves in the a$$ if they do that. They are underestimating the backlash from paying music customers when they start putting people in jail.

For my part, I advocate a complete and total boycott of all major record labels (most of the major labels only turn out $h!t anyway).

Vote with your entertainment dollar, and dont spend it with the labels that are killing individual freedom.

Bull ... they can't do that can they? I mean ... we DO have anti-privacy law's right? Oh well ... They COULD alway's bring down the price so we COULD aford to buy song's we don't like just to listen to the few we do like ... just an idea

Thank God I dont use Verizon DSL anymore.
