Comment Re:I think they just really liked springsteen (Score 1) 301

most websites do not allow prepaid credit cards as they generally have no address or zipcode tied to them and will not pass card authorization methods. at least as far as I know. also, the one time use numbers are still tied to an original account or they would not know who to bill for the purchase... or be able to process returns to the original account.. the trail is still there .. its just capped at a dollar amount.

uh no.. but your account might get cancelled.. But if you use a bot net to sign up for 15000 accounts using different fake names to get the most desirable gmail addresses or googles new service of the month.. which gmail is offering only on a first come first serve basis with a 6 account limit per person... then sell those accounts to people for $500 when you only got the account by lying and violating the terms in the first place you should. As your selling something you obtained under false pretenses.. your talking apples to oranges here and using a strawman argument. one is lying and violation of tos the other is FRAUD to obtain further financial gain at the expense of others. and even in your case if gmail has notified you to cease and desist and you still keep signing up fraudulent accounts under assumed names..or are using the accounts to commit 419 fraud or some other illegal activity from thier servers.... sure you should go to jail..or get fined.. its criminal trespass. if you want to be anonymous.. sign up for an account with a company that allows you to be anonymous. google doesn't OWE you anything and you have no right to take it under your own terms because thats how YOU want it. your solution.. is to not use the companies service and go somewhere else.. not steal it under terms you may like better.

They used a bot net to circumvent maximum ticket policies under assumed names ect , thereby commiting fraud on the ticket company. They also used automated means to purchase tickets from a system that is meant to take individual orders on a first come first serve basis.. again fraud. they then turned around and used those fraudulently obtained tickets to resell (tickets they fraudulently recieved) to unsuspecting buyers at an inflated price which they could set because they bought all the tickets fraudulenty. now.. if you can't see what is wrong here.. you've got some issues. Its a straight contract violation, fraud and unjust enrichment case..

no.. if the UK governments actively solicited the french government to illegally obtain the information they MAY possibly be held responsible.. However if the french government waterboarded the person and stuck bamboo shoots up his fingernail then gave the uk govt the information because they wanted to be nice.. it would be perfectly legal as the uk cannot be responsible for another countries actions. and once it is given the information, it absolutly has the right to review it.

fruits of the poisoned tree does not apply here. the original illegality was not committed by police. its any evidenc stemming from illegal action by police and any benefit gained from that illegal action is in itself illegal and therefore inadmissable. As the information was freely turned over by another country and the uk is not required to comply with swiss or french law its not illegal.. if anything only HSBC can be held responsible for failing to adequalty secure confidential banking information or the individual who stole it.. the cops are in the clear in this one. which is probably why HSBC has nothing to say..

I just call it being a moron. whats next an auto mechanic cannot fix cars so we just give it another term and call it a protected class.. then have auto mechanic hate crime laws.

process servers are a dime a dozen.. they are known to frequently use the throw in the gutter in the front of the house and check the box that the person was served method.. A judge will generally side with the person who did not get to have there case heard if they dispute it and say they do not live at the address an had moved..and the process server "served" the wrong person...or some other lame excuse default judgments are pretty easy to get vacated,

Comment DEFAULT JUDGEMENT (Score 5, Interesting) 356

there was only $63,000 is attorneys fees because it was a default judgement and they did not have to present a case in front of the court. Likey the person will claim they were never served and demand there day in court. the judge will overturn the default judgement and the case will start over... or she will declare bankruptcy and the judgement will be discharged.. but maybe they will recover some of the 3 million
