This is all new law so the parties are playing it cautiously
to see how it pans out. I imagine the Copyright Tribunal
will send a strong message to rights holders who persist
in prosecuting laserprinters.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

As I understand it the accuser (supposed rights holder) doesn't have to show
anything to insure the first two warnings were correct and for final time still
doesn't have to show they own the rights or are agent. Not sure they even have
to show that the person or printer downloaded anything illegally.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

That was University of Washington at Victoria, leaving a printer lurking at a
torrent tracker.
Some trackers send out decoy IP addresses, specifically to cross up the
gumshoes.
I suspect that Jammie Thomas left remote assistance on, and got cracked that
way. The "expert" witness didn't bother to look.
