I wonder how many different companies/numbers he called and how many phone sex agents he spoke to... if it were the same company or even just a hand-full, wouldn't someone have noticed? My gut tells me whom ever owns the phone sex companies was in on this. I mean, eventually the girls would've been like, "Oh it's that guy again." They probably would've know him by name and probably at some point someone would've asked the question, "Just how much does this guy spend with us?" At which point they would've realized that he was always calling from a different number. That would've made them at least negligent - and yes, if families were broken up over this, these companies should be liable for their suffering as well.
I doubt that in 8 years any media type that has to be physically relocated to be used will stand up to networked resources anyway. All this stuff about which new DVD format is going to be the winner will be all a much-ado-about-nothing. I look forward to turning on my flat panel TV, searching for the movie (or any other media) in an on-line library and streaming and watching the content real-time, instantly.
It's really not that far off . . .:D
