The said file was a Scooter album and it was downloaded/uploaded back in 2008 and she had received the letter a week ago. If she won't pay the money in 21 days they would take her to court. I think it's a harrasment, the only evidence they got is an ISP. What if she hasn't got a secured network or if she has what if someone hacked it?



Apparently, this one doesn't care whether you do upload or download.
I dont wish to sound callous but its your problem if you had a unsecure network. You would then most likely have to prove you let someone else use your network.

Be like leaving your door unlocked and someone using your land line phone surely?

People have been proven to be in a location or make/recieve a call due to mobile/landline phone records so why not an ISP?

I hope your friend sorts out the problem with as little hassle as possible
