Hi Facepunch Forums
First post here.....
Anyway just a quick question.
If you download a movie, and then an ISP comes after you, could you simply say that you lost the movie and you simply are downloading a backup replacement, and use this to squash any court case. This is just to help a "friend" out.
Thank,

[QUOTE=UberMunchkin;35647808]I think you may be able to get away with it if you could fabricate a receipt, but I think your "friend" is fucked.[/QUOTE]
Surely it's unreasonable to come up with a receipt that was produced over 10 years ago....???
Where do you live? ISPs actually check if you download torrents?

You only get caught if you're unsecure or have a crap ISP, it isn't always first case fine either.
No. Assuming it is P2P download at least. Because then you are uploading while downloading and uploading is illegal, unless you could manage to show that you did not upload anything while downloading then maybe, but you would probably have to go to court with that.

If you use torrents which are peer to peer, you are downloading and uploading at the same time.
Edit: Anyways your friend is going to be executed now, bad luck.

What nation?
The US has laws that protect that. As long as you can prove that you owned a physical copy at one time, you have a aright to own a backup copy. You can use that as your defense. If you can hold off any sort of action until June, the ISP can't do shit to you without giving you two more strikes. If it's Comcast then they should already be using a three strike policy.
