You think?

OK, so there is no proof at all. Just an IP address. It may or may not have downloaded a file that may or may not be copyrighted material. The wifi could have been open. The wifi could have been hacked. The wifi could have a spoofed IP.

There is no evidence at all.

It's not just newbs that pay up from the blackmail, it's idiot newbs.

Not ONE of these cases has gone to trial that I know of...Wonder why?

What I don't get is how the bros are now using blackmail as a business model and the sheep think that's a good idea.
