The movie and the record companies have been spending a lot of time and effort lately sending out "Cease and Desist" letters and generally harassing ISPs for a while now.

Well, I have downloaded many movie clips and MP3s that WERE NOT what they said they were - most were some kind of advertisement or songs from garage bands - who FAKED the title to get me to download it.

Here's my question.

If the material WASN'T what it claimed to be - then how does any of these legal 'authorities' have any right to complain about me downloading it - when it wasn't their property to begin with?

Just because my IP address downloaded a file that said U2.mp3 - doesn't mean it was, in fact, a U2 song - what if it wasn't.

How would they prove otherwise - I mean if they didn't actually download the exact file that you did - then how can they really know?

In fact - those recent "Harry Potter" files I downloaded didn't have anything at all to do with the recent Harry Potter movie - both files (400 MB) was a documentary about the homosexual mating habits of African Apes. (and damn fine too)

So leave me the Hell alone already!
