An interesting point occurs to me. Drawing a parallel with motoring offences where unless the actual driver of a vehicle is identified, the registered keeper is held responsible for offences committed - presumably about the only defence would be that the vehicle was stolen at the time. It is a contractual obligation, I think, not to allow anyone else to have access to your password than those covered in your licence. Anything posted on your account would be your responsibility unless you could identify who it was. The fact that your machine was capable of being misused in that way could, itself, be actionable. -- John Underwood Use the Reply To: address for the next 30 days After that write to john@the-underwoods.org.uk Do not send anything to the From: address
