Things these guys do aren't pranks. They seem to get a rise out of scaring people while filming. I bet in most of their videos they don't even stop after the prank is finished and tell the people that they are "pranking" that it is indeed a "prank". Look at the just for laughs pranks, they are more inline with what a prank should be. Pull a joke or a fast one on someone and when your done tell the person and have a good laugh with them about it. Not saying that the Just for laughs pranks all go well and likely not everyone they prank thinks it's as funny as they do. But at least they don't pretend to kidnap or pretend to commit armed robbery, which would generally scare or induce a response from people that is negative.

it saddens me how many times i have argued this point with my parents. earliest memory of it was in grade 8, most recent was about 5 months ago when i tried to warn them about installing a cloud based video system into their house. At least i got to use the line: "what if there is somebody snooping on the non encrypted feed to your house and you guys are fucking in the living room". Sadly being former flower children they got turned on and promptly told me they had something important to attend to and made me leave.

Good luck with tracking ip's on technology like LTE. IP leases only typically last a few hours. Most ISP's likely aren't going to pay someone to baby sit lease requests and given that these copyright holders preform abuse requests with no set standard for the information it's very hard to script a automated system to handle them.

Makes me said in a way as a Canadian to see another one of our tech companies in it's death throws.

.380 is a pretty crappy caliber. But i guess he needed something small, you'd think though with today's phablets you'd be able to use something a little larger. Even a 9mm is the same diameter, yet a bit longer and more powerful.

heh, atleast your attacks are by terrorists, ours are just by people that have lost their minds. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/manitoba/story/2009/03/03/mb-li-trial.html worst part is, he'll get off cause he was found not criminally responsible (aka: they send him to a loony bin). Just goes to show you, if your going to comit a crime, make it a crazy one, that way you can argue you didn't know what you were doing at the time.

In my mind, the next logical step for me would be start writing letters to my state rep and letters to the FCC. Also, i would consult a lawyer and see if there is anything that i could do legaly to track the spoofers, ie: get nasty with the phone company or request phone bills from the people that are calling her and cross check them (using her number as a reference) and see if there is a way for the phone company to track who is really making the calls. I am not sure if there really is that much you could do with a lawyer, but in any case the lawyer will atleast inform you of your rights in this situation. That little bit of information might lead to the proper solution. Here in Canada, we don't have people spoofing caller id's with other people's phone numbers yet (or atleast i haven't heard of it yet), however telemarketers do often replace their numbers with something like 000-000-0000.I often get phone calls like that.
