[ILUG] Eircom surrenders

[Patrick O'Doherty]

is it just me or does the record labels knowing which users to send
notices to seem a bit like a catch-22? They don't (or do they?) have the
right to inspect all your traffic and determine that you are pirating
material, so their determining that you have pirated material is an
invasion of privacy and therefore invalid?

I could be (and probably am) wrong in saying this though.
