They pick a file, say movie X, then check the IP addresses of the people that are sharing it (downloading). This is simple in the case of torrents, due to the lack of security involved in the torrent protocol. Anybody can do this, not just this company. Then they match the IP addresses with an ISP, and request they give them the personal information of the person that used a given IP, in a given day. It is not the ISP that monitors your internet activity, is a third party company that does that. They are trying to make a case against torrent users, so if you are not a torrent user, chances are they are not going to reach you. - @Patrick Mon, 11 Feb 2013 10:48:17 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6710/125/#comment-51196 I am very curious about one thing. I am with Teksavvy (Just an example) and they clearly state that they do not monitor what their users do. Therefore, they have no idea what you are doing with your internet connection. I do not understand how these copyright owners even know what you are downloading / sharing, because they cannot get this info from the ISP. It is my opinion that the only way for them to know who downloads their copy righted material, is by invading people's privacy and illegally monitoring their activities on the internet. I do not see another way for them to know who they can file suit against. Does any one know how they get to this information and if it would be legal to use in court? - Patrick Mon, 21 Jan 2013 12:24:22 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6710/125/#comment-50954 How is one to know what is copyrighted in the first place? I would think that it must be clear to the user that a data download is somehow infringing on material that should not even be available on the internet - i.e. if one does not want one's material copied, keep it off the internet. To simple. - JustACanadian Tue, 08 Jan 2013 16:47:08 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6710/125/#comment-50564 What differentiates commercial and non-commercial copyright? - SBSP Sat, 22 Dec 2012 04:01:15 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6710/125/#comment-50419 This lawsuit should be overthrown until gov’t builds a proper firewall on consumer information when a foreign company requests for this data, especially from “Troll lawyers”. Its time to reset this law for a later date in 2013, Canadians have been warned and this alone should help the Film\Music\Media industry from further erosion on sales on growth. There are no assurances that you will not be charged and arrested when you cross over to the USA. These lawyers can easily find gaping holes and opportunities which will slaughter Canadians like lambs when they cross over the border. The Bail Bond itself will be equivalent to a house mortgage, since there is risk of you not returning to the states. The punitive damage is quite excessive which includes possibly jail time when you compare it to Canada and other nations. In 2013, you will read new stories on Dad going to jail, when going to Disney Land with wife and kids, in the states due his children downloading habits. The Federal and States laws do not necessary correlated with each other. For example, people that grow medical marijuana in a state where it’s legal are thrown in jail and sentence by the Federal government [https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/grant-full-pardon-chris-williams-man-facing-80-years-prison-legally-growing-medical-marijuana/PgtWfvFg.] The ISP should pass the information to a Canadian Privacy agency for them to submit the notice and legal action in behalf of the legal firm to protect the identity of individual from being prosecuted in a foreign land, especially for a 1st offense. - TeckSavvy Tue, 18 Dec 2012 21:05:18 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6710/125/#comment-50283 Ava. even though Peggy`s c0mment is surprising... on tuesday I bought a new Jaguar XJ sincee geting a check for $5268 this - 5 weeks past and over ten/k lass month. without a question it is the nicest work I've had. I started this nine months/ago and practically straight away started bringing in over $74.. per hour. I follow the details on this straightforward website, Great60.comCHECK IT OUT - ChloeBrown22 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 10:59:41 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6710/125/#comment-50268 Hey, So aside from all the issues that stem from downloading files, my question is would uploading take a person into the "commercial" bracket, and if so, would the upload have to be the full 100% of a file to be considered "illegal", or is it all the same if just 50% of a file has been uploaded/shared over torrent. Cause there is a clear difference between someone initially uploading and providing the file, and people who share just because torrenting requires this for speed, and never actually end up sharing 100% of a file. There are definitely many things that need to be cleared up here. - JJ Fri, 14 Dec 2012 19:12:24 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6710/125/#comment-50261 Also, if they are tracking and analyzing packets of information does that mean that any online banking, buying and everything else I am doing means that they are watching this? Doesn't that mean they are spying on me and my information; thus breaching my privacy? Should I include that in my letter to them? - Scuzzi Fri, 14 Dec 2012 15:32:46 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6710/125/#comment-50257 So I just got a notice yesterday. At this time my response is as follows Dear Sir/ Madam Please show me full proof of your claim with regards to my infringement on your property as I was operating in a private capacity at the time. I use a wireless router at my location so that multiple computers can use the internet all over the house and it is an encrypted channel. I have always wondered if my router has been hacked and someone is using my bandwidth, so as the burden of proof rests on your company in this case, I am sure that you will be able to determine that for me. Also note that I have fixed some computers at my house and although I am sure I erased my router password, I am only human. I am not sure what they are talking about, but I will be sending them this anyways Now if only I could find their email address and then proper mailing address. It seems they changed their info just recently. - Scuzzi Fri, 14 Dec 2012 14:15:06 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6710/125/#comment-50256 What is the penalty if you download music/movies from another country? eg. Baidu.com in China. Do you know you can get the movies in about 6 languages - Rodmyster Fri, 14 Dec 2012 13:58:02 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6710/125/#comment-50097 If this case depends on one man's testimony they should have picked one who is not a music pirate who made money from published music without paying royalties. Barry Logan (Canipre) has credibility issues. He played in a band called "Whoa! Miss Mojo" at Stratford Ontario's Ribfest 2011. Cover bands are supposed to pay royalties but guess what? 4 of the pirated songs are posted on YouTube. - Robin Brown Wed, 12 Dec 2012 10:10:09 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6710/125/#comment-50080 Anon do NOT go to a lawyer. There is a cap on judgments, maximum of $5000 but those will be reserved for the worst offenders, and even then it will be a stretch for a judge to award those kind of statutory damages. If you are served a letter from one of these proceedings, simply go to your local courthouse, reply to the suit, and have it served. Court clerks will help you with the basics, and that's all you will need. Due to the limit on personal liability judgments, these matters will never be pursued in court. The costs and time involved will be prohibitive in relation to the judgments they will receive. This is a simple case of intimidation, and trying to get people to pay amount sin settlements which are actually higher than what would be awarded if it went to court. The Plaintiffs are counting on people being too afraid to fight back, and are counting on people having heard about some of the big judgments in the United States and rushing to settle. Our legislation here in Canada is very different that in the USA. Do NOT let these people bully you. Let's call this what it is, it's a trial balloon. Did anyone stop to ask why one of the first battles on this new legislation is being fought by Voltage Pictures LLC vs TekSavvy? This is to test the waters of this new legislation, and to see how judges will interpret the statutory penalties for non commercial infringements. The majors (RIAA, MPAA, major studios) will be watching this, and if they see that Canadians can be bullied into large settlements by simply sending infringement notices, then the floodgates will open. Do not give in to this. You do not need a lawyer. Respond and request to have your day in court. That will end the process right there, I can guarantee you they will not proceed. - @Anon Wed, 12 Dec 2012 01:05:43 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6710/125/#comment-50076 So would this be retroactive, or are they targeting downloads that occur November 30 and forward? - Larry Tue, 11 Dec 2012 23:39:33 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6710/125/#comment-50059 Anyone know where I can find/contact a lawyer that would take a case such tas this? - Anon Tue, 11 Dec 2012 18:54:32 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6710/125/#comment-49977 --- How Golden Frog Responds To Civil Investigations: Golden Frog will not release a member's identifying information - minimal information reasonably calculated to identify and no more - or usage information to investigators, attorneys, or agencies unless we are directed to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction in the matter. If there is a hearing in court, the member will be notified so they will have an opportunity to contest the surrender of personal information. --- So court can get you no matter vpn or not. Why bother then? - John Sat, 08 Dec 2012 18:16:12 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6710/125/#comment-49931 Go to Tim Horton's parking lot with a laptop. Free Wi-Fi. Download all the movies, songs, TV shows you want... Anonymously!!!! As for musicians worrying about not getting the money they feel they're entitiled to? I'm sure you get more than enough in royalties. If not, your music probably sucked. - johndoe Wed, 05 Dec 2012 11:33:00 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6710/125/#comment-49889 So to actually prove it was you they would also have to prove that your IP address was not hacked, or insecure. Everyone uses wi-fi now. If I am not tach savvy and my neighbour (who knows who it really is) is using my internet then I am responsible? Prehaps there are some serious holes in the whole concept of actus rea, mend reas with this,no? - Risky Business Tue, 04 Dec 2012 10:33:15 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6710/125/#comment-49884 I encourage everyone to stop buying Blu-rays, dvds, ect.. stop stop stop.. - IC Tue, 04 Dec 2012 07:30:19 +0100 http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6710/125/#comment-49880 A compressed audio format, music deteriorated, seriously?, A law is being created for this type of content,I laughed - manolito2112 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 01:24:33 +0100
