    Yes, it was a far better album than given credit. Then again, U2-bashing seems to have been in vogue since Bono disappeared up his own political 'arris.

    Point about that was that you knew it was a perk of the iphone ownership.

    I'll happily stick with the filthy world of entrapment being a nasty way of doing business and can't way to see which law firm fancies tarnishing its name by being party to what is tantamount to extortion with menaces.
    Lawyers do not have scruples, try googling "Schillings". They (lawyers in general) are a bit like contractors, if the rate is decent enough, we'll say and do anything.

          That is sadly true...

            Everybody is entitled to legal representation even if they are a crook, and their legal representative is a crook.

              Remember, it's up to the copyright owner to prove who has committed the infringement. You can't take an address to court. Literally impossible to prove which individual did/didn't download anything.

                That is not how the civil courts work. Judgment is given on the balance of probabilities therefore, if there is a 51% probability that there was an infringement the courts will give the Claimant Judgment. Moreover, the probability would be that the subscriber to the ISP would have caused the infringement.

                  Sorry, you're way off legally. The claimant has to prove that an individual (who may or may not be the account holder) illegally downloaded content to which the claimant holds copyright. If they can't prove that, they will lose. Oh, and for Christ's sake, learn how to spell judgement.

                    If it's a civil case the claimant has to prove there is a good probability the individual did illegally download the material.

                    If it's a criminal case the claimant has to prove without reasonable doubt the individual did illegally download the material.

                    As Goldeneye are using the civil courts you don't have to have done the actual act there just needs to be sufficient evidence to convince the judge you very likely did do it. In other words I agree with Mr Judgment.
