[citation][nom]joebob2000[/nom]Your post is full of complete bull****! First, they have no evidence that any part of their movie is on the suspect's PC. No, having your address show up in a tracker is NOT proof that you have even uploaded/downloaded so much as one byte of the file. Hell, I could get YOUR ip address, put it in a static tracker, and they could come along and see YOU are stealing their movies! Imagine your surprise when you get a letter saying you have to pay $1,500 or face explaining yourself at a trial.Error #2; these are civil trials, not criminal ones. You are not entitled to a public defender, you can either defend yourself or hire a lawyer whose effectiveness is measured by how many zeroes are in his paycheck.Please get a clue before spouting off nonsense... Now that I think about it, do you work in Hollywood? That would explain a lot about this conversation.[/citation]
I live in Kentucky, and your response is rude. If you can't respect others, keep your opinions to yourself.
Believe what you want. They can tell when you are downloading or uploading copyrighted material. I quit downloading movies years ago, because I realized it was immoral. I had received two written warnings, and in both cases, they knew which movies I had downloaded, and when. And they were right.
When you get caught, try all the fancy explanations and arguments you want. You'll look like a fool to the judge. They've heard it all before. All that's required is a preponderance of the evidence, and you'll be paying up. Now, truthfully, how many of those 5,000 do you think are being falsely accused? You know as well as I do - none of them. They are all guilty, and deep down inside, you know it.
