yeah, that ip tracking will lead them to hotspots like starbucks, tmobile...etc
Makari
and when they see that, they just toss that IP and don't go any further. i mean.. would *you* bother prosecuting an IP that came down to a public library? why would they?
[QUOTE="Makari"] assuming the RPS commenter was correct, that means that in Germany, the unprotected wifi dude is liable and CDP is perfectly legal in coming after them. you are liable for your own internet connection, even if someone else hijacks it through negligence. basically, they're suing the 'right' people per the law. it would sound stupid from an american POV, but (again assuming that guy was right), germany does it differently, which might be part of why CDP only did this in Germany - which isn't even their home country. To give a physical example of this, if someone broke into your house and stole your gun and shot 50 people, it would be completely your fault. You personally just murdered 50 people.
In this example, it's still 100% accurate - somebody just used what ended up being a publicly available connection to pirate. They could still theoretically try to run it down further, but it's probably not worth the effort.

Or if you left a loaded gun sitting on the hood of your car in a shady neighborhood and.. yeah. I don't make the laws. edit: and yeah - so nobody actually knows what CDP Red was doing, it sounds like?
