howdy guise.
i'm being sued by a movie company for torrenting a movie. my lawyer suggested settling because if i deny it they might be able to 'create a profile' based on my internet activity (e.g. how much i torrent and such) to show that i'm full of shit. does anyone know what exact info they have access to?

1. Ask you're lawyer, not a bunch of computer nerds on an anime image board.
2. It's a law thing, not a technical thing. You're ISP may or may not keeps logs of everything you do. It's entirely up to them. Call and ask about there data collection and retention policies if you really want to know.
3.It's a legal matter. If you're ISP does keep logs and the prosecution files a subpoena they may hand over all, some or none of the logs depending on the situation.
4. I am not a lawyer and none of this is actual legal advice. In fact I pulled most of this out of my ass.
Your lawyer's an idiot. If they're suing you it's because they saw you torrent their movie. They don't need a "profile," they have their logs of the torrent swarm showing you uploading their content to them.
Your only chance is if your state courts agree that an IP isn't an identity, so you may be able to get the case thrown out based on the fact that they can't link the infringing activity to you.
Considering you're on the hook for a few hundred thousand dollars, you might want to look into settling. It'll probably be a few grand.

he actually seems to know what he's talking about though. they've apparently done it in the past.
>>46841554
all the more reason to listen to him, and not anonymous people on an anime image board.

And?

Then leave.
Was it an old movie? Declare the CTEA a violation of clause 8 and go to the supreme court.

>limited times

>violation of the spirit of the law
Was it a new movie? You're fucked and have no legal precedent over the jews, only a philosophical one. And they are creatures of man-made systems, not the inherent rights and mutual respect natural to most non-psychopathic/autistic great apes. Move out of this totalitarian shithole that doesn't even respect your natural property rights (muh shekels tho!). Skip court. Go to chile or somewhere. Forge a new identity. Live free.

Talk them it was CP disguised as their movie.

>hurr bye
Sorry for posting politics in an inherently political thread. Some loser's legal advice isn't on topic in the first place.
Would you cool your kvetching if I let you know that I am also a jew and therefore have the social right to casually use jew, kike, hooknose, heeb, and schlmo as insults, or are you a muslim/fundie christgoy that will only kvetch more now? :^)
>>46841358
What movie did the movie company claim you torrented?

LGTSS >OP
You deserve it. First cause you actually took the bait and responded to movie company and secondly cause your lawyer is dumb as fuck.
Just out of curiosity, what movie was it?
>>46841842
i have not actually responded. i'm pretty sure that my lawyer knows what he's talking about.
>>46841854
i'm not sure if it's a good idea to say it here.
>>46841839
This.
did you at least you a private tracker?
>>46841869
How did they contact you? Via email or mail?
>>46841883
mail.
>>46841901
Then it's legit. Move to eastern europe or pay them.
check out die troll die.
>>46841807
The OP itself is already /pol/.
But something tells me that you wouldn't be responding right now if I never used "jews" to refer to corporate fatcats and called them "purveyors of non-free software" instead.
For the record, I refer to actual jews as just "people", the rest as "non-jews", and the worst as "jews".

You mad. :^)
