    Actually you have a chance.... You can contest that you were not the driver of that vehicle and if there isn't some high def res of the driver then you can get it cleared in court. Of course a good lawyer helps :)

    You sure it's a "subpoena", not a cease&desist letter?

    Won't work.
    All of those tactics have been tried and actually used as evidence to prove the infringer was willful. So don't do it.

    I'm not so sure there are cases where parents were being charged for d/l illegal music and come to found out they were innocent "but" not there kids.

    Also open networks happen all the time... Heck you can hack a WEP encrypted network.. Does that mean my neighbor will get sued?

    I work for a lot of lawyers and they pretty much state there has to be damning evidence that the person in question was actually "THE" person.

    All I know is if you try to represent yourself you will lose.. So get an attorney and he will guide you.

    Those mass John Doe suits by the pr0n company's are being thrown out in court.
    So don't worry.

    Rule of thumb when downloading films and music: Lay off the major stuff.

    What movie was it?

    I got a letter from Comcast just a few weeks ago, stating they had been contacted by a movie studio (Paramount maybe?) and notified that someone at my IP had illegally downloaded "The Kids Are All Right." It wasn't a subpoena though, it basically said they caught you doing this and don't do it again.

    Follow your heart and download whatever you want. Don't let the law tell you what p*rn you can and cannot watch while you live with mother.

    You are way off base about what you are saying here. The stuff you proposed is the defense most defendants come up w/ in this type of cases and needless to say they don't work. Studios are allowed not to name the defendant when they file the suit. There are ways to find out who the infringer is in the discovery. Lastly, the mom and whoever else live in the house can be made witness to testify.
    Go check out the Tenenbaum case and see for yourself why the district court judge awarded the statutory damage, my paralegal friend. :)
