Not if they do it in a library or any of hundreds of wifi hotspots around town. They'd have to be idiots to do something like that on their own data connection

Also, it is usually a mistake to assume that the U.S. legal system is fair and rational. If the A.G. decides to go after you, you will be facing the fight of your life. Recall that kid who committed suicide after that Massachusetts D.A. threatened him with 35 years of imprisonment over cracking a bunch of scholarly paywalls. Not fair, not rational, not even civilized in my opinion.
- anigbrowl 13y agoYou'd be amazed how many criminals are, in fact, idiots. The brainy supervillian is largely a myth. In any case, it would be up to the prosecutor to prove that you were the origin of the dodgy reviews, not up to you to prove that someone else was. If there was insufficient evidence to identify the author, then you couldn't be successfully prosecuted, and most prosecutors won't waste the resources on a case they clearly can't win.
