Dam,
I wondered when they would bring out the big guns!! I.e Us students who actually develop and design new software programs e.t.c, However the line "performing trap purchases of pirated product and logging results" could/would result in an entrapment lawsuit withing certain county's. So even if they did manage to prove you had "Illegally" downloaded material you could counter sue. So too me it's another one of these scare tatic's to put the most prolific sharer's off but knowing them I highly doubt it!! lol
But you can see they have gone up a gear in trying to catch these inderviduals!!
Im not trying to start a debate or anything as this is a Secuirty forum not P2P so apologies Samker, But it's always supprised me of the ammount of money and the lenghts these big fat cat corps will go to just to catch the odd indervidual out, How much does all that cost?? surley if they subsidised the digital download sector with this extra cash they always seem to find then maybe 90% of P2P users would'nt bother downloading form unknown sources as they know they could pay the £1 or £1.99 per film and get good download speeds direct from the author's site without it being capped by your ISP!! in fact given how many peeps would prob download it I would say the market does not even need to be subsidised it's just the digital rights holders need to wake up and smell the coffee because at the end of the day if your product is that good it will sell by itself with very little marketing "Apple" always seem to be able to pull it off!!! as you can all prob tell this topic does grate on me a little!!lol
