Any thoughts welcome on what else to think about and what to suggest
they say, politely, in response.

It sounds as though basic defence wasn't implemented, and the students
probably latched on to their WiFi and watched the film. If this is the

Nope. He doesn't owe anybody unless it can be proved that he personally
cause the movie to be distributed. Anyone who claims otherwise needs to
cite case law, and they will find that a difficult task in the wake of
the Davenport Lyons and related affairs.


and they had better beef up
their security A.S.A.P. The chances of proving it was the students is
small. They could try sending them a bill anyway.
If the students found this so easy, they can do a lot more.

The students have got nothing to do with it.
