Are They Realy Going To Act So Blindly?
The govenments are crossing a thin line with the three strikes system because people are yet to be proven guilty of any "crime"/act.
All the ISP's can do is trace IP's back to the address and bar the account holder. But lets say there is a flat full of students with an unsecure wireless connection that the nabor is tapped into.
Firstly the nabor could be the one downloading these tracks and wam, good bye internet for the residents.
Secondly a flatmate downloads some tracks, yes its within the household but the account holder itself gets done.
Thirdly your IP is being spoofed by some random net user with more sence then to leave his/her own visable. Again it gets traced back to the address and wam the account holder is accused.
I myself had a flatmate at our old flat using an unsecured wireless network (but wouldent admit it) and had our connection sapped dry.
My question is are they dumb anough to bar someone without definate evidance that the person in question sat at his/her pc and "clicked" download? My thaughts stray to the grandmother that has a class action lawsuite againsed the RIAA for false acusation.
