I think we all need to take a step back and read what others are posting...

Yes there I think is a point where a connection can be shared or even hijacked and just because D-L have an IP/DATE/TIME it doesn;t mean to say that the person who holds the accoutn is responsible..

But on the other hand the customer has signed a contract which although with VM puts them plainly in the eyes of civil law as being responsible for the connection from thier side of the modem onwards... That contract will be used in a civil court to accuse the customer the copyright infringment...

So can we please just agree that there is two sides to the arguement and progress forward with what this thread is about and that is the facts that these letters are going out to people and what possibly could be done about them...
