| I'm not encouraging any of you to break the rules (though I do it all the time), but I just want you all to know that IP address does not hold in court. My brother was taken to court by SONY for downloading files illegally from Limewire, and the primary evidence that SONY used was IP Address. IP address isn't accurate, since people can use other hosts and connect to networks where IP Addresses are linked and crap. My bro of course countersued on the account of wasting his time due to false accusations, as well as due to the costs of paying for a lawyer...he won, end of case.
Three of my friends from school have also been taken to court, and they have also been able to easily and successfully shut down the IP address claim. However, if you don't bring the inaccuracy of an IP address to the court's attention, you will lose. So if you don't know, now you know. |
