I am not talking about unsecured wireless etc. I am talking about if the accuser gets it wrong.

I have read the ofcom document and you are wrong in regards to counter prosecution, ofcom have not added a mechanism where the accused can do a complaint and get the media company fined for harrasment.

In addition ofcom have made an assumption the isp will appear in court alongside the media company, the owner of aaisp has already made clear he will not honour this.

If I was to unsecure my wireless and announce it I would then become a service provider and not be accountable under this legislation.

You would then be breaking VM's T&Cs -
