FTA File Distribution dangerous?

My knowledge about Law and the workings of the Judicial System
is very limited,
so I decided to consult a neighbor of mine (a retired Judge)
about illegal file distribution and its implications.

(So I'll do my best to try explain it in LAYMAN'S terms.)

First off, of course it's considered an illegal act.
But,.....
the Judge has to take into account the motifs, circumstances and
consequences.

Since in the Cyberworld (the web) ID's, Nicks, etc. are so vulnerable
to be cloned, stolen or misused,
they will normally NOT be considered as incriminatory.

IF the person who distributed the files DID NOT generate them,
It has to be PROVEN that there was an ASSOCIATION
with the one who did
for monetary reasons or to harm the affected party.

Now, I don't want to name names (NN)
but I was told that Mr. No Name is DEFFINITELY off the hook.

Mostly if that persons motifs was only for HELPING others
or as part of a SOCIAL ACTIVITY.


So his personal best advice was :

If anyone accuses him ( NN ) of any wrong doing
just answer them back.....
"Well, then sue me, B!tch!" ()

Wakenbake and JOHNNY BOY.

You see a post above this from Username: Tooney
Post Number: 4 Registered: Feb-10. He is poisting as if Nalin Nyda is posting.

Now the person who started this thread calls himself
The Voice.

He has chosen the Username: James_millard, but he joined in January, 2010. Anybody can look up old records and try a username if it is available and then use it. There are several old memebrs who have actually given up their memebrship of Ecoustics - yes you can do it - and others, usually trouble makers pick up that name and start using it. In this case,

seems to be a straightforward person and not a trouble maker. But you can't say that he is the same person James millard and who probably posted as Jmill1948 that you knew 4-5 years ago.

All I can say right now is that
1. James Miller and James Millard are two different names
2. It is very easy for people to steal old names once they are discarded. In some forums they are removed if inactive for a length of time and in this one it seems peole can just resign any time. Then the username is available.
I don't know James Millard and in general, my policy is to see the current status - like your (whiskey's) status to me is nothing more than a newbie, whatever your pedigree or vintage.

"You Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover...."


Only naive people would use their REAL name

in such a "dangerous" place as this.

I decided to use James Millard's nick

as an HOMAGE to this great man.


IN 2004, along with a couple of other distinguished members,

James Millard was one of the FOUNDING FATHER'S

of what are now our great Satellite Forums.


People respected him and newbies called him

"the Godfather of FTA".


Names and Numbers don't mean a thing.

What really is important is what we do

for the benefit of our fellow members

and for this place we call our HOME.

The Voice: Whoever you are, your information about how the judges normally view things was very instructive.
However, sometimes they get tangled in long legal analysis and set bad precedents which are obviously wrong. Doesn't happen often, but it did happen when they decided the DTV case in the Supreme Court of Canada.
I look at my collection old tapes, video tapes, DVDs and most of it done using regular hardware bought at big depeartment stores and that is all very legal! But watching TV for personal use using a device manufactured in Korea, software made in Germany and downloaded from a server in Mexico is considered wrong!
Ah well. Life goes on.

Superadman, you have made a mistake
I thought I knew who you are last time you was here,
but wasn't sure. You Sir are not as smart as you may think you are.

Captain Hook: I am not prone to many mistakes. Right now I see a member who joined a month ago, claiming to know me last time I was here. Let me remind you Sir, that I know when I was here last, and it was well over 6 months ago.

FYI.. it is possible in several different ways to be registered here less than six months and still know what may have went on here years ago.

hey the Vioce did you know that back in the day there was a judge.. (not a very well known fact)... use to post here in the sat TV forum gold member too. He know longer posts here much .. he a visting Admin at another site now. Nalin you knew him well but didn't know his real life job status.

Just goes to show you that any kind of person can get away with illegal file distribution. He must know of some loop holes to get away with it in a place like this.

Can we get a cardless / IKS free solution already! Geez this back and forth bantering is really useless, especially since is directed at two or three people whom the rest of us don't know nothing about. My God - WTF?! Between the folks that claim to know it all and those who show up to irritate them, this site is a piece of work.
