An unsecure wireless network is NOT an invitation, and negotiating a network connection does not equate implied permission to use the network. Just because you can do something unimpeded does not make it okay. I've seen malfunctioning routers that SHOULD be using encryption fail do to so. The configuration showed encryption as being active, but it worked as an open access point. Ok so I can sue the next person who access's one of my websites since I did not give them permission to access my server.
It's not stealing if its a public broadcast. If someone listens to my conversations on CB Radio and even joins in I have no right to complain it's an unencrypted public channel after all.
WiFi frequencies are also public channels for public use if you don't encrypt your transmissions you have no right to complain.
Since your doors granted me permission to enter your house, and they were acting on your behelf since they are on your house, you have no reason to complain. At least the insurance companies agree with you.
What if he claims that he does not have the means to shut the site down and tells the court they need to make a request to the service provider/administrator who does have the ability to pull the site but who also resides outside the courts jurisdiction.
I agree this is an unlikely scenario but not impossible.
They are harvesting Whois data from as many domains as they can. If they are a registrar they can see all the domains that are registered then is just a matter of querying whois servers for potential victims it has nothing to do with who you register with.
The amount of mail I receive from them for domains that have no connection with each other indicates that this is a very large scale operation.
I wish they would do the same here in Australia, When I check my PO Box every 18 months there are dozens of scam letters from "Domain Registry of America"

Just more reasons to use your neigbours WiFi
You may have the ability to "Group" contacts.
Name one!
How would some random person get your email address just from your IP?
Drop the analogy,
"I didn't do it" is a pretty piss poor defense don't you think? It's not like a guilty person would ever think to deny their actions.
No but anyone could legally pick it up and take it away.
Problem is you can't ask a door anything!
But you can ask a computer!

And they wonder WHY more people are turning to encryption!
Release it to ThePirateBay and tell the rights holders to
"Go Fetch...."
Problem is we shouldent have to jump through hoops for this type of bullshit
Negative?
Please explain how this is negative?
Because if they call it a DoS attack they can justify themselfs in blocking it.
If anything this has saved allot of staples that would otherwise have been fired at the waste paper bin.
I'm in Australia and the address they want me to send credit card info to is an address in Sydney.
I've played Counter Strike using someone else's account on steam.
We were both on the same public server, steam didn't seem to care about this obvious double log in.
That's what you get for doing the right thing, a kick in the teeth.

That's what programs like CloneCD are for. Alternatly you can just burn the CD and keep it in the drive while playing.
The court order may not even be valid. The site could be outside the jurisdiction of the court.
Yes, but do you have the money to defend yourself if the other party happens to be bigger (financial) than you?
