The whole question of not knowing about the infringement seems to be discussed often: what if someone deliberately doesn't want to know, such as people who set up their Wireless networks to be open so they can then claim any infringing activity was some unknown neighbour?<BR/><BR/>I'm of two minds on this. I don't think that innocent people should be dragged into lawsuits, but I also don't think that deliberately misconfiguration network equipment should be able to become a way to avoid any liability. For technical people if you flip the questionable traffic from copyright infringement (which they see as de minimus) to SPAM (which some go as far as wanting to be criminal) they tend to see the issue a bit differently.Russell McOrmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186398284667525036noreply@blogger.com
