My personal favorite is "You can't prove it". Doesn't the fact that I am calling you (and you know internally that you DL'ed it) show that I either called a random number from the yellow pages and got REALLLLLY lucky, or our software works pretty good.

I will be at the AVN show in Jan. If these suits fail, there will be plenty of people there to remind me. If they succeed . . . "I'll take a vodka tonic from the gentleman over there eating crow"

i don't understand. You are stating that you are extremely sure you 'got your man' due to good working software, but in the end the 'the court system here thankfully puts the responsibility... on the owner of the ISP account for the purpose of illegal downloading.'

isn't that a 'shotgun approach'?
