Re: Headlines - Music industry and UK ISPs unite in battle against piracy

the issue with logs is spoofing of both IP and MAC addresses. The only way an ISP knows where a packet has come from is by Reading the MAC from the start of the frame, if its been spoofed then you will get a letter from your ISP and it won't be your fault. Its a really serious issue on VM as its really easy to do and it means that the evidence should not be used as its not 100% fool proof.
