So lets say your electric supplier sends you a bill for £2000, and you find out that your neighbour has tapped in to your meter. That means that it's your fault, and you have to pay, get sent to court and be fined, as you are the account holder  I don't think so
Shawty, what you refer to is section 172 that was changed in 2007. But like I said, if you can't find out who the person was, you can't be prosecuted:
Quoted from Road traffic act Here |
In what context can you quote the Road Traffic act, as it would be a Civil proceedings with the onus on you to prove to the Judge it was not you while he is looking at documentary evidence that says on such a date a music track or film was downloaded from your connection.
He reads document that says it was downloaded by your connection, you say no it was not me but I pay the bill, he says thank you I find for the plaintiff.
But of course we do want it to get that far so we send a letter denying it as soon as we get the letter demanding money.
