Unfortunately, I didn't discover this until I was already back at my Seattle hotel. Needless to say, I am quite miffed at the whole experience.
Fortunately, I have LogMeIn installed on that machine. I provided the IP address to the VPD, but they say that laws don't allow warrants solely on the physical address tied to an IP. It sounds like the silver bullet is to take a picture of the person using the laptop. The question becomes, how do I convince the guy to run a script that will take a picture of him and smtp it to me?
I promise to post pics of the guy if this get's pulled off successfully!

Better, put the Report to Anonymous into the script so it is automated and then Anonymous sends an automated attack on the perp.

Hmm, rethinking that - this may result in a world implosion with Anonymous attacking itself from the inside out.

Better yet, instead of an exe make a script that sends an email to a temp address that you set up with details from their machine. These details could then be used to report the perpetrator. I think that would be completely legal, but if you wanted to take it a few steps further, use your imagination with what to put in the script. ;-) This could be more fun, a challenge and one could learn something from it.

Call me a troll, and I don't usually comment, however I don't think this is what "net neutrality" is about. If you want to be able to download anything and interrupt other people who want to surf freely, that is one thing, but if you just want to be able to surf freely without restriction being imposed by IPS's and such, that is a totally different kettle of fish.
