I agree in one sense- it makes a stronger case when you can prove the identity of the persons re-publishing your work without authorization using multiple pieces of evidence. I enjoyed reading the story at http://wp-board.com of how that one photographer caught some of the people illegally using his content using detective work, an attorney and the rules of law. |
and i find it interesting that you precieve a story about the court finally restoring the fundamental principle of innocent until proven guilty to be "support or encouraging unauthorized downloading"
nothing in that ruling support unauthorized downloading, if you have proof that a person actually downloaded the content without authorization you can still convict them. All this stops is the unilateral assumption that just because you paid for the connection you have to be guilty of the infringement.
