I have a few lawyers that I could invite.
Of course, there's nothing we can do to stop being threatened, except for getting media behind our cause (which they seem to have been for a while now).
The thing that we may be able to do is put up a good defence... And of course, talking to your congressman and educating him is always a good idea... We should perhaps get some polititians involved...

Hello all,
This topic was mentioned recently and I was wondering whether we have any attorneys or people who know attorneys who would be willing to assist community networks and their operators, so as to avoid being threatened, sued, etc. as a result of questionable anonymous use of their networks. While the article suggests that it is a virtual dead-end for the RIAA at the moment, this topic has often been discussed at great length in our posts, and at our monthly meetings, it was mostly speculative and hopeful, rather than factual and legally accurate.
For those of you with legal expertise, this is a perfect way to contribute to NYCwireless. While we do have a wealth of technical, practical, and well-intentioned volunteers, who contribute with time, expertise, and money, we do need have much help in the legal field, and this could be of concern to many current and potential node operators.
Please contact me off-list, if you are or know someone who is willing to help in any way possible.
Thank You,
