Court Rules IP Address Alone Insufficient To Identify Pirate

Anti-piracy groups and lawyers across Europe are unmovable - they say that since they logged a copyright infringement from a particular IP address, the bill payer is responsible. Now a court in Rome has decided that on the contrary, an IP address does not identify an infringer, only a particular connection.

about fucking time, the court willingness to say just because your ip address was used you guilty of a copyright infringement was totally fucked up
It was bullshit to expect people to buy 20k military grade wireless routers to be safe from being procecuted for copyright infringment when a hacker uses one of those script kiddie tools to hack the wireless password.
