MPAA Says No Proof Needed in P2P Copyright Infringement Lawsuits | Threat Level | Wired.com

MPAA Says No Proof Needed in P2P Copyright Infringement Lawsuits | Threat Level | Wired.com: "The Motion Picture Association of America said Friday intellectual-property holders should have the right to collect damages, perhaps as much as $150,000 per copyright violation, without having to prove infringement.
'Mandating such proof could thus have the pernicious effect of depriving copyright owners of a practical remedy against massive copyright infringement in many instances,' MPAA attorney Marie L. van Uitert wrote Friday to the federal judge overseeing the Jammie Thomas trial."
