| Witch Hunt gone Pirate Hunt The 21st Century witch hunt for pirates begin! Just like centuries ago, you could accuse anyone of being a witch. Today, we can accuse anyone of being a pirate and use the tried and true method of attaching a heavy rock to them, throw them into the middle of the lake to see if they float.
It was stupid then, and the same concept is stupid now. Glad to see people are fighting it on all levels.

At least hundreds of years ago, it took someone to actually accuse, today we just get a lawyer to do it.

| Re: Seems Fair... said by DarkLogix :and judges having stock in the plaintif Absolutely! That doesn't explain juries though. By now people should be aware of the fascist and rapacious nature/tactics of the music and film industry. If I were on a jury, I would NEVER rule in favor of these bums, no matter what the "evidence" seemed to say. Of course, I would likely never be allowed to sit on such a jury.

| Re: Seems Fair... but if they make the same offer to everyone on the jury it'll be quite hard depending on the contry's laws on civil cases and if its civil or criminal (you might win on reasonable doubt in a criminal case in the US but a civil case they might still rob the person blind) | |

| Re: Seems Fair... If it became a criminal case, you could always exercise jury nullification. Juror's rights seems to be almost unknown to most Americans; few folks realize that as juror's they not only decide innocent or guilty, they can do so based on whether they the feel the law should even exist in the first place.
A better explanation can be found here:
»www.fija.org/
In fact, in some states (such as Maryland) it seems that jury nullification even extends to civil cases (though I may have misunderstood Maryland's constitution as it relates to that). I wonder how many RIAA cases were tried in states where civil nullification exists?
Any attornies out there with knowledgeable opinions wanna chime in? | |

| said by jmn1207 :Provided that there is solid proof of piracy ... Well .... If there is "proof", then I could agree with a government prosecutor issuing a subpoena for the data. But what we have here is a private company demanding data on what could be a whim. Why should a private company be able to circumvent due process?

Having run an ISP there is valid reason to have such data, at least for a time. Mainly for security reasons. It's nice to go back a bit and see if the spamming report was true, to know which account to cancel. Or the hack attempt from your servers was for real. Handing data over to a private company was always a NONO! Complying with a subpoena is another thing, and security audits are sometime necessary.

| Re: Seems Fair... Well I could understand monitoring for spambots and such
but perhaps a script that would delete the uneeded data (ie below danger levels) so threats could be found
the law would take some iorning out to get the parts needed for security and anoninimity figured | |

| Re: Seems Fair... said by DarkLogix :the law would take some iorning out to get the parts needed for security and anoninimity figured We already have a law in this country. The government needs a subpoena to get data, how is the RIAA and MPAA exempt?
There's the problem. The Constitution guarantees us the right to be secure in our persons and papers. If we allow a private company to violate the constitution, then we allow the government, by corporate-proxy to violate it as well. That's the dangerous slope here. Deleting data is a bad thing as it gives tacit consent to the violation itself. One should fight this on more legal grounds.
