P2P-Zone - View Single Post - Being sued by the music biz for sharing MP3

BPI stands for British Phonographic Institute, they represent all major record labels.

Guys, serious replies appreciated.

I have a defence for the first round (without a lawyer) that might get them to drop charges. I'd post it here but as they 'allegedly caught me in a P2p network I aint risking posting the reply here yet. Perhaps later.

Starting at the top what are the technical reasons I can argue? I've already gone for proving the IP address was in use by my tel point at that time and the fact that a number of people have access via that IP address at this site. The argument is that its in my name and im responsible.

I'm expecting a reply soon and will let you know.

NB it's not the downloading thats the problem, iots the fact I SHARED the files to other people via P2P.
