RIAA: Someone Else Is Pirating Through Our IP Addresses

So they won't mind when the people they accuse en mass say the same thing, then? It would be nice if some of the things they pirated were some independent works, and the author would come out and sue them. If he loses, he would at least set a precedent so they can't mass-sue people again based on their IP addresses. EFF could help with the lawsuit costs.

Uhh, uhh, excuse me? Don't they shoot people down for using the "neighbours are using my wifi" line in court all the time? I DO actually let my neighbours use my wifi and they're cool about it and don't abuse it.

Yeah, spoofing an IP is possible, but it's MUCH more likely that someone connecting via RIAA offices is running torrents, probably on a laptop they take home or something (though I've seen some pretty stupid corporate users running torrents at work.)

Hypocrisy much?

Can't wait until SOPA lets us eliminate the RIAA from the internet without any due process at all.

That sounds like something a pirate would say.
