Hackers Undermine Piracy Evidence With Hadopi Router

[naughtydog]

Yesterday we reported that a provision in the revamped French “3 strikes” bill will allow for the punishment of ISP account holders for the copyright infringing actions of others. Now a group of hackers has set out to compromise WiFi routers en masse, in order to create an environment of plausible deniability.

Time will tell how French judges will rule in these “negligence” cases, especially when they have just 5 minutes to do so.

the 5 minute joke is a good one

even though i don't see this as a solution - they don't care if someone was using your connection to download stuff - the connection is registered under your name - thats probably more than enough for the anti-p2p or the aggressive french government ie. sarkozy (or is it his wife ), the question is how will the court interpret such uncertainties

btw still waiting for the french high court to put an end to this long overdue farce

I agree with slikrapid. The idea is nice and whatever you want to call it, but things will just get worse if innocent people end up in jail because someone else used their connection as a "proof of concept".
