    Next step: sue the power companies for providing electricity to the bad, nasty pirates, their landlords for allowing the egregious acts of piracy on their property, and their mothers for not raising them right… /facepalm

    It’s like getting mad at the highway department because drug smugglers use their roads.

    They’re probably just trying their luck with the current state of the American judicial system.

    So they’re going to provide a list of the pirate’s identities along with complete records of what filenames were downloaded, what percentage was completed, and proof that the labels actually own the contents of what was in those files (regardless of the actual filenames)… right? No? Yeah I didn’t think so. How are the courts still entertaining these broad lawsuits that never seem to prove any wrongdoing? Oh this person torrented some perfectly legal files so you want the ISP to cut them off because “they might have downloaded a movie we didn’t notice”?
