A household of 2 adults and 2 kids have got the letter. It's the VM account holder who is the respondent (details given by VM), but he/she has no knowledge of the download (or what ever). Maybe it was one of the kids who downloaded it, but that does not make a case against the VM account holder.
Yes they are responsible for the use of their VM account (that is not in question). But they did not "authorise another" to breach the copyrights of a third party, so the case fails on section 16(2) of the CDPA. |
How would the case fail, the game was still downloaded by a person living in that household, be it the Virgin Media account holder or not.
And are you trying to say I can download anything legally aslong as I dont upload it? That cant be true.
