arstechnica.com — The RIAA will not be able to use a John Doe lawsuit to obtain the identities of 16 people accused of using the University of New Mexico's network for copyright infringement?at least not until the targets are notified of the legal action.

1. ad hominem... and you call us idiots?2. Assumption of guilt is not proof of guilt without evidence, and get the f**king crime right will you? Theft is not involved here, unless you really are just trying to troll.3. No matter what crime they are accused of, they should only be prosecuted IF FOUND GUILTY and ONLY TO THE DEGREE DEEMED REASONABLE. Remember, punishment fitting the crime.

*blink*1) Not proven. Not even vaguely proven. That's what a John Doe suit is. They bring the suit in order to iscover whether or not the found party is a pirate.2) Not theft, infringement. You'd think you'd know the difference by now.3) Not 'prosecuted', sued. There's a big difference; if I sue you for being a moron, and win, you don't go to jail.That's a thought. If only it were actionable to be an idiot. I'd be a rich motherf**ker.

(1) RIAA is pushing unAmerican to new heights (2) in that context RIAA is doing nothing inappropriate... in a free market.(3) Congressmen who fail their constituents or fail to fulfill most of their campaign promises should be executed. That'll expediently clear out corruption

EITC didn't run around signing startups into a contracts that appealed to greedEITC killed piratesthe pirates of EITC's time deprived merchants of their goods. To be analogous EITC time pirates would have needed star trek matter replicators.which is worse? RIAA.. it still exists.. largely because of tolerance.. the very flavor that is destroying USA
