Now that sucks, not only did they have to watch that POS movie, now they are being sued for watching it illegaly.

$1:

IP addresses from 10,532 Comcast subscribers, 5,239 Verizon users, 2,699 IPs on Charter, and 1,750 with Time Warner comprise the huge group of defendants. After the initial filing, Dunlap, Grubb & Weaver, attorneys for Voltage Pictures, requested access to personal information tied to each IP address in question. Time Warner balked, saying that doing so would be too time consuming and would take away from other, more pressing legal issues.
Time Warner seems to be singing the same tune this time around, once again refusing to provide data for its customers that have been implicated.

So... Canada needs copyright "reform" to give this power to Hollywood that Hollywood doesn't even have in Hollywood?

So wait a sec here, Time Warner won't supply personal info on the IPs for illegal downloading? That's fucking hypocritically hilarious. Meanwhile WB (a subsidiary of Time Warner) is busy sending messages to ISPs about people downloading illegally.

What a bunch of wads!
