    As they move from known physical router to known physical router, pathways are going to change. You're going to have to know where the trace is coming from at all times. Good luck. In theory, sounds good, in practice, isn't happening.

    I've worked with law enforcement on tracking, from stray video signals looking into someone's bedroom to catching a guy in another country that was displaying child pornography. It's fairly trivial to trace, and also, once they've got your actual IP, they can just request the address of the modem attached to that IP. It's all in the records SOMEWHERE.

    Considering the test drive consisted of actual freeway driving, from both Palo Alto, CA to Livermore, CA, and Maidenhead, UK to Sutton, UK, you are not in a position to make any assumptions.

    Oh, and in the UK, yes, you do brake and accelerate rather rapidly, over and over again. Have you ever driven in the UK? You have to be suicidal to NOT ride your brakes.

    I know that to be bullshit as I've done several test drives on a fully-charged Tesla and have easily dropped more than 50 miles each time, and the battery indicator still read ~70%.

    "If you want to make an inference of corruption, "she used to work for them" is pretty weak."

    No, it's actually rather strong., As she has had prior business interests with the RIAA as a lobbyist FOR the RIAA, she should have been 100% disqualified from hearing any file-sharing case.

    This is more than enough evidence to have the Federal Government investigate her. This is more than enough evidence for a citizen-initiated recall of the judge.

    It is 100% a conflict of interest, and the judge should automatically be recused from ALL file-sharing lawsuits as a result.

    All rulings made should be immediately and retroactively reversed.

    Then the judge herself needs to pay a HEAVY fine for such inexcusable behavior. The kind of fine that will BREAK HER POCKETBOOK and give incentive for other judges to behave.

    It is time our judicial system got a dose of accountability.
