I thought that myself to be honest. I'm fairly certain that there is a clause in your ip terms and conditions saying you have to protect your ip address and stop unsolicited traffic from using it, but I'm not 100% as I generally just scan t&c.

I can't see where is says she didn't turn up. As far as I can see this was a properly heard court proceeding not just a default one where the defendant didn't turn up. This was a test case to see if the laws surrounding these sorts of cases were fair and to make sure that the evidence was properly understood.There are loads of news reports about this case and others that didn't make the headlines. You can bet you'll see this woman selling her story to pay the fine as she only has 25 days to pay the fine.

If I was you baldy, I would stop posting on the net about it as I've seen at least 3 separate forums with your name on it. I'd contact the solicitors and pay the fine. This was a test case, but you can bet they will be going after more and more money. The sad thing is, it is generally families that can't afford to buy games that are lured to downloading them.
