mmmm no. Rochard's analogy is right. It is like the red light/speeding ticket cameras. The person who owns the car gets the ticket regardless who is driving.
The person who's name is on the internet access account and pays the bill obviously owns a computer. Just the same as the person who's name the car registered to own and pays the registration fees.
However, the camera stuff is getting challenged and has been removed in some areas.

The problem with the blackmail letter game, is that there is no proof at all. This is why not a SINGLE case has gone to court. Because the case would be laughed out as there is no PROOF. ACS Law, who are now facing review, boasted about doing this just for the money. As Lightspeed has here.
Rochard, this was NEVER about being right legally. It was about extracting money from scared people.
Innocent until proven guilty, right? Unless they are Mexicans, obviously.

There will be a picture of YOUR CAR not you. They can't make out from the picture who is driving. I know first hand. I've gotten tickets from someone else driving my car, and guess what I had to pay them and it wasn't me that was running the red light. Just like the picture proves the CAR was involved in breaking the law, the ip they collect proves that the computer/modem was used.
You are innocent until proven guilty. Go to court if you didn't do it. You better believe if I didn't download the shit and they sued me that I would defend myself. Most of these people who did it, don't have the money to pay. I highly doubt that many, if any people who really didn't do it will just fork over the money.
You are innocent until proven guilty. Unfortunately that is the way the law works. Anyone can sue anyone for just about any reason.
