But based on what I am hearing, the right people in the right place with the right knowledge... youre 15k out of pocket.
Yeah, but nah. $15k is the **maximum** penalty, and you'd have to be facing some hefty evidence of repeated, extensive infringement before they nailed you with that. Yes, in theory you could be stitched up in the process. But it would require conspiracy on the side of the ISP (to get valid log details or inject fake ones) and the rights holder (to submit the three infringement notices necessary to get you before the Tribunal, with correct log details via your ISP). So, no, I don't consider it to be terribly likely. If you've annoyed someone **that much** that they'll go to so much trouble to get at you, you'd be better off worrying about the kind of person you are who attracts such virulent dislike. -- Matthew Poole "Don't use force.
