How about you tell him not to do it. If he keeps it up, you'll take his access away. Simple as that.

Don't you have win 2k or xp installed? Remove his access to the computer. or setup local policies to stop him from installing software and del the P2P.

If you're paying for it and he's just mooching, tell him to stop or you'll cut him off. Your money, your rules.

After you talk to her about it, come back for options if she doesn't stop. No point in cutting her off and creating a problem if she might listen to reason.

In that case, there's nothing that you can do really. As long as it's not your computer doing the sharing, don't worry about it. From what I can gather on the RIAA's lawsuits, they are more than willing to amend the complaints if the person sharing the files is not the same as the person to whom the account is registered.

Get a signed confession off her so that she gets all the blame if the RIAA try and sue you/her.

Or you could chop her network card in half with scissors

or ask for sexual favours.

Just have her transfer the account into her name. That way you're not responsible. Else she has to stop with the piracy. I think it's a fair choice.

if the access is in his name, he should ask her to change the name on the account or stop using p2p. it is still an illegal activity whethor we here at AT like the RIAA or not, it is still illegal. and since his name is on the account, he could be held liable. that's enough for him to insist that she stop the activity OR they go thru the steps and change the name on the account.

Just tell her that the RIAA is cracking down on people and that what she is doing is how they are being caught. Then get a signed affidavid....

You will be outta the clear mang! Good Luck!
