this is the big one, as i have been pointing out to all the people who keep using the speeding ticket example to justify applying the you don't secure your internet therefore your liable for copyright infringement.
actionable infringement must have a wilful or authorising component. Now a judge has explictly said that no court case, in the entire cannon of law, nor no direct quote from the law justify that stretch.
that a huge hurdle to jump over in these types of cases.
