In college, my primary thesis (the one I spent a long time working on) was that dead people were sneaky. It was quite unorthodox but I believed in it. I HAVE BEEN PROVEN RIGHT BY THIS ARTICLE. Remember when the RIAA sued a dead woman? What does THAT mean? HUH?! Doesn't it mean she was illegally downloading music when she was dead? Doesn't this article PROVE that the ways to track illegal downloaders are 100% reliable?I told that damn professor that he was going to regret the low grading he gave me. Boy I'd like to see his face NOW.

I can only imagine all the crapware sitting idle running processes behind the scenes with all the crud people download blindy with all these p2p utilities. Ever fix a friends PC when they say it runs too slow or locks up. It would shock you all the crap people indiscriminately download. Now you have big corporate brother to worry about as well

If you read the article, it says the modified client only searches for a filename, attempts to download one piece, then logs the filesize, ect (which is apparently what the search results return). So tell me how they are verifying these are not fake filenames...So if I go on P2P with a WoW Patch named as "Dream Pinball 3D.exe", they think they have the right to sue me? Heh.

How can they prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it was me and not a freeloader using my unsecured WLAN?

Caught using moblock and uTorrent (moblock is *nix equivalent to PeerGuardian or the Azuerus plugin) from an eztvefnet torrent... granted, it was probably reposted on mininova.
