Sounds like the only legal system around that will tell the big media companies where to go and how to get there. Wish our legal systems here in Canada and the States would have the stones to do the same thing. I still can't see how the media companies can use the tactics they do,i.e. Media Defender and Media Sentry, to get info on people when they aren't licensed to do so. I'd love to see the court system stand up and tell these greedy creeps that since they don't play by the rules and have to basically make things up to get a lawsuit going against someone that any such suits brought forth from this point on will have to have solid evidence not just the ISP address of the person. As I said before if you have a wifi connection to your laptop, someone within 1500 feet of your computer can share that connection, so if they download or upload music to the web and the greedia barons spy companies trace the ISP connection it's gonna go to you not the actual person doing the sharing. From what I've heard as of late, there seems to be a way now to prevent your wifi from being compromised but as to how to do it, is a whole nuther country.
