what if.....

...things don't fall our way in court and Dave wins? What could he legally do with all of our posts where we asked questions about hacking? If he knows who we are could he use those posts against us and accuse us of hacking?

You want the short answer? YES

[mouse01]

or the long answer? definately.;)

[choctawba]

THE ANSWER IS NO!!! THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A SINGLE SUCCESSFUL CASE BROUGHT BY DIRECTV AGAINST A (CAUSAL) FORUM USER AND PARTICIPANT. NOT ONE!!! JUST BECAUSE YOU PARTICIPATE IN FORUMS SUCH AS THIS DOES NOT AT ALL MEAN THAT YOU ARE STEALING THEIR SIGNAL AND THEY CANNOT PROVE OTHERWISE. NOONE WILL BE BEATING DOWN YOUR DOORS AND NOONE (ESP CABLE COMPANYS) IS GOING TO COOPERATE WITH DIRECTV IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER SO THOSE ESP. WITH CABLE MODEMS REST SAFE.

It hasn't happened yet!

thanks Choc....I hope your right !!

i didn't say he would win. if he knows who you are and has a copy of all your posts you can bet he will use that in court. getting that info is a different subject. we are replying to the direct question of if he knows who you are and has your posts......
