I don't think that would get you off the hook. I am sure you have some responsibility to secure your internet connection. It would be similar to leaving a loaded weapon unsecured.

The music industry stopped going after individuals august of last year. They are now trying to shut it down at the source, like pirate bay. But for every one they shut down 2more start. I haven't heard of the movie industry going after anyone yet.

I do all my downloading through a wireless connection. I have no idea whose it is and I don't want to know. I just download with utorrent. It only goes 140 kbs but its free.

Thats something else I like about giganews. For 5 bucks more a month I get 10 more connections and encrypted download, so they can't tell what i'm downloading.
