This is retarded! I can imagine some fat, rich cunt sitting in his leather chair like a director of RIAA or some Major lable and all he wants is make money, money money.. and doesn?t give a shit how and where they come from! How about someone lower CD prices?
This is just another way of making money!

I've decided to form a militia of hackers to break into the RIAA and tear it apart.

I am not a fan of heavy handed tacticts but I am going to have to call "bullshit" on the part of the defendant in this case. "I took out the computer but left the high speed connection running for months" This story has too many holes in it. Nobody I know is going to continue to pay for broadband month in and month out when they are not using it.
That and I use my real name and address for all of my logins. Give me a break.
you are not very knowlegable on connection subscriptions.
1) when I worked with an ISP about eight years ago at least one to two percent of all their subscribers were not useing their connections, meaning they had changed ISP's but had not cancelled. often this went one year or longer.
2) curent deals on broadband very often involve no charge or a very small charge for a very long time meaning many people would not notice. indeed their are packages with digital cable where the broadband is in essence a free add on to a package and no savings would be incurred by cancellong the broadband.
3) my mom paid the monthly cell phone bill for a cell phone she did not use for nine months because the name was the same as her landline provider.
4) half the peope I know have their router in their basement or under a peice of furniture and not somewhere where they look at it. easily 3/4 of persons do not change the default password and that is a known fact.

she probably had a computer with which she was sharing stuff and as soon as she found out she was being sued, she got rid of it and lied about never using one

or any of her neighbors could have used her connection.

I had the opposite happen. ATT ran our cable broadband internet and movies for about a year. It was the lousiest service around. They cut purchased movies off in the middle... Called them up to complain and they told me that I could watch half of the next movie... I took the cable box to their office and canceled service... Now comes the screwy part. They never turned off the cable, only the internet. That was 8 years ago. Comcast purchased the system from ATT a few weeks after I canceled. The cable was still working up to 3 weeks ago when Comcast came through our area upgrading equipment and pulled the plug on the connection. So, we had 8 years of free cable and Comcast hasn't said a word...yet !!!
