MPAA don't fuck with my shit.
(And yes, I did attempt to contact them by email and phone before resorting to the more obnoxious behaviour of contacting the ISP. No reply to my email, and the series of friendly receptionists I got bounced between had no idea who would be responsible but promised me someone would call back. No joy there, either.)
Awesome.

Since I was not a citizen (I was there illegally), I was unable to contract an ISP. I feel I missed out somehow, but I got over it after Glasnost.
Anyway, my point is, you were more accurate than you thought.

You wouldn't shoot a policeman
and then steal his helmet.
You wouldn't go to the toilet in his helmet!
And then send it to the policeman's grieving widow.
And then steal it again!
