Yes, I claim however that shooting human shields used by irregular opponents (non-uniformed or otherwise not clearly recognizeable or people who fight in an urban zone) is NOT a crime in the geneva convention.

I counterclaim that the non-uniformedness of the opponents is of no consequence here. If a party undertakes an operation that puts civilian lives at risk, the importance of the operation must be so that it justifies taking that risk. These are the principles of proportionality and the protection of civilian lives at work.

The other parts of your response are mere conspiracy theories.

Is this the best you can do?

Submission + - RIAA Wins In Court Against U of Wisconsin-Madison

Billosaur writes: "A judge has ordered the University of Wisconsin-Madison to turn over the names and contact information for the 53 UW-M students accused of file sharing over the university's networks by the RIAA. "U.S. District Judge John Shabaz signed an order requiring UW-Madison to relinquish the names, addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and Media Access Control addresses for each of the 53 individuals." The ruling came as no surprise to the university, which had previously rejected the request of the RIAA to hand out their settlement letters to alleged copyright violators on their campus. The school feels the RIAA will have a hard time tracking down who did the file-sharing anyway, as the IP addresses the RIAA has for the violations may be mapped to computers in common areas, making it difficult to determine just which people may have made the downloads."
