It is hard to fake an IP address. You cannot arrest a drunken driver if you cannot prove he was behind the wheel of a car. You cannot make a claim that Joe Blow was behind the computer keyboard if you do not know who it was behind a keyboard. There is a great distance between I think Joe Blow was behind the keyboard and I know joe blow was behind the keyboard.
In the directv cases, a person bought a smart card programmer. Because they bought a smart card programmer, they were sued stating that the smart card programmer “was” used to program a smart card to steal directv programming. 30,000 sued! Here the matter is “I bought a smart card programmer so I must have stolen television programming.” Many people who bought a legitimate and legal smart card programmer paid directv to settle because directv drove there litigation costs out of sight. You could not have had your day in court unless rich. Now consider again why jury nullification is the right option. Where the rich can make up a story and use the court to leverage a settlement, our court system is in trouble.

Lists of stuff and lists of files. All proving what? And as a “professor” of networking should know it’s not that hard to fake IP addresses. Or hide your identity on the net.

Jury nullification is the LAST line of nonviolent defense of freedom. The founding fathers of the United States included the mandate for a jury system in the founding of the country. Its purpose is to protect the population from tyranny via unjust laws, excessive punishment, and kangaroo courts. Unfortunately, as with most other laws enshrined within the constitution, the government and courts routinely work to dilute the protections. This is where educated citizens come in.

If I ever sit on a jury, my verdict will be INNOCENT in any or all cases where the defendant was not allowed to present his evidence (kangaroo court), the law the defendant is accused of breaking is unconstitutional or unjust (an unconstitutional law is in fact no law at all), or if the possible punishment far outweighs the crime committed. In any of these cases, I will ignore what the judge’s instructions and provide a ruling that is in line with justice and the constitution.

I recommend a site for every p2pnet.net reader. This site is http://www.fija.org The Fully Informed Jurors Association.

Both the RIAA and Directv have sued people whom they knew were innocent. When an innocent person is sued it means that false information was provided the court.
While the person sued tries to report this false information given to the court, the court does nothing. Reporting to the Justice department as well goes no where. As a consequence, law enforcement has to be sent the message that there is no one above the laws. The next time you are a Juror or a witness, do just what Justice does in these cases, Ignore Justice. Jury nullification is a great way to give back just what Justice did to the innocent person who was sued.

Trace Route may have been edited. I have never seen the term “success” on a trace route before.

every single one of those documents could have been doctored and the system log file looks nothing like the one I found on my old Windows 98 Comp I used back in college to download from Kazzaa.
