downloading wall-e?
pirating?
this dude is an idiot for not using the hotel`s wifi.

did he not know about roaming fees?

he should be liable for at least 5 grand, for not utilizing his resources in an intelligent manner.

^ who said it was pirating? You can pay to download movies legitimately.
And who said there was wifi in the hotel?

I do agree though that this guy is an idiot for not knowing about roaming fees.

you can tell them to suck all the cock you want VooDoo09, but you still owe what you owe, you signed a contract. just because this guy does not know how wireless data plans work is irrelevant.

and yeah, they are doing him a favor by knocking it down to 17K. they have every legal right under the sun to charge him what he signed up for.

saying its their `cost` to provide that data service is a little nuts, though.

$17K probably was their "cost"... they still have to pay out their service fees to the Mexican service provider. That`s what they`re being billed by the Mexicans as part of their roaming contract.

Technically, you can download anything from the internet but you have to delete it within the 24 hours if you want to use the "Oh, I didn`t know what I was downloading was illegal so I deleted it" excuse.

In the court, the MPAA has to prove that you were fully conscious about the law of copyright infrigement that you were going to commit BEFORE the act and not WHILE in the act, to be able to fully accuse you and fine you apropriately.

It`s the same thing when accusing someone of voluntary homicide and involuntary homicide. The law has different levels of punishment between both infrigement of the law.

But then again, the law is case by case. So, the best way to avoid it is by not doing it. Besides, most movies suck so bad it`s only worth as a rental...

Edit: I thought about this just recently...
You download the movie X-men (for example) and the MPAA catches you and they fine you for piracy. But, then you go and buy the movie X-men (legally, of course), the same one you downloaded. Can you use the "it was a back-up excuse"?

This reminded me of that case where some dude was asking the telephone company if they were charging 0.002 cents or 0.002 dollars.

ChuntoPops: you are correct, i completely forgot that his US provider probably does not have a portion of the existing cell coverage in Mexico.

Onisama: and everyone else, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PIRACY OR ILLEGAL DOWNLOADING.

your statements regarding the MPAA`s legal restrictions i belive are incorrect. i highly doubt many of the people who have been fined my the MPAA or agreed on out of court settlements knew the law precisely and still broke it.

and i dont think the back up excuse is valid. you have the physical disk, you could have copied that.
