These these were settled when directv did the same thing when they sued 30,000 people. It was decided then that such fraud on the courts and extortion ffrom claims which were false were legal now. If the courts do a flip flop, who can beleive the courts any longer. Personally, I always felt extortion and false claims were illegal but after directv could see that some people were permitted to do this.

Yep. Billions out there in illegal pirating and they focus their billions on an 11 year-old kid. Very nice. Logic like this is why my home and network are 100% Microsoft-free.
The REAL injustice is the record companies passing off mediocre (at best) schlock and calling it 'Entertainment'. And concert tickets and CD prices are going up? Sure, I can pick up a copy of 'Ghostbusters II' pretty cheap...
Shizzle.
