this section says you are required to secure your network.
The below states that TWC isn't liable if you do not secure your network and that you are.. |
Playing devil's advocate just a little, it would seem to me that violating the TOS of Time Warner would not automatically make you liable for damages to the RIAA, a different entity (okay, forget for a moment that Time Warner might own the rights to the music or movie you downloaded). Two different issues, IMO.
According to what some have said here, if I could manage to download kiddie porn at the local high school, the principal could be arrested.
Lastly, fuck the RIAA. I just read that they sued some guy for ripping his legally owned CDs to his computer.
First, they created a scenario in which, by purchasing a CD, you only had "the rights to use the music." Not transferable, therefore you couldn't (according to them) loan out or re-sell the CD. Now it seems you don't have the rights to the music you buy, either.
At the risk of being repetitive, fuck them with a six-foot dildo.
