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

As foreverwar has pointed out - you have no idea, whatsoever, of what you are talking about.

I'm afraid you are the one who is wrong. OFCOM are not the "Be all and end all" of legal avenues - that falls to solicitors. All you would need to do, in the event you are threatened with being sued but are absolutely adamant that you are innocent, is to find a solicitor who is prepared to represent you.
Good luck with that if your defence is still going to be your comedy classic
"there is no evidence whatsoever that internet piracy reduces sales" .

What a big brave ISP they are. You obviously haven't read their AUP. AAisp does not need to appear in court because, get this, they will have already done their bit by providing the rights holders with the details of infringers in the event that they request same or get a court order to do so - that's how the people will end up in court.

Good luck with that too. Do come back and let us know how you get on with it. Don't forget to tell your ISP that you're illegally subletting bandwidth.
