The recording industry group -- which announced in June its plans to seek out and possibly sue individual file traders who use peer-to-peer (P2P) networks to obtain and share copyrighted music -- said in a letter to Coleman that it had requested 1,075 subpoenas through the first week of August.
If I was fighting a RIAA lawsuit I might say:
1. I have an 802.11 router in my house.
2. I do not use WEP or MAC reservations.
3. I do not monitor if anyone else is on my WAP.
4. I use NAT w/ only one public IP address.
OR
1. I have a wireless bridge/WAP (i.e. Aeronet 350) and anyone in my city could feasably connect via my IP address.
2. I do not monitor the connection, it is only intended to be used by me though. (re: I am stupid but not sharing files)
This would provide reasonable and substantial doubt that I was the person(s) sharing files from that address. After all, anyone in my neighborhood or apt. building could be using my connection without my knowledge.
