SysAdmins Sued over BitTorrent

ZDNet: Two senior system administers at Swiftel/People Telecom have been sued for alleged music piracy. Piracy is wrong – you are stealing money from the mega-supa rich in the music industry, and all stealing is wrong. However, I do not see how it is justified holding two ISP staffs accountable, when they was not involved in piracy itself. If the verdict is guilty, I shall see massive changing of service structure from ISP’s all over Australia, trying to protect themselves from possible future lawsuits.

    No it is not. It is used by those as justification to download pirated music/video/software. I am only writing in a sarcastic sense. Stealing from the poor beggar is stealing. Stealing from the filthy rich is still stealing…
