| 360027 | 2005-05-31 13:57:00 | The service is basically advertised to say you get 10 GB and if you go over you are supposed to get throttled down to dialup speeds. Now if you don't get throttled down, then that's nobodys problem but Telecoms. It is a gift. To the people saying it is wrong, are you saying that because the speed limiting isn't working, you should self-righteously get out your NetLimiter and throttle your computers back to 64k? Gimme a break. :lol: |

| 360029 | 2005-05-31 22:24:00 | Inspired by this thread: . pressf1 . co . nz/showthread . php?t=58422" target="_blank">www . pressf1 . co . nz And, the fact that Telecom don't seem to be charging for phone calls from 027 moblies tonight . I have a 3c credit, but was able to make several calls . Similar stories from others . Next time you top up your phone you may find that a debit balance has been subtracted, but to answer your question, taking anything without colour of right is theft, however much you may attempt to justify your actions . On the charge of theft, a defence known as colour of right may arise . Simply put in the context of this case, it is the honest, even though mistaken belief, as to the lawful ownership of the property in question, or the right to make use of the service or facility . That belief to be a defence must be honestly held . To assist in determining whether or not it was honestly held, an accused may offer evidence as to why that belief was formed in his or her mind, including what was told to him or her by way of legal advice . The most valuable thing you will ever possess in your life is your reputation . It is up to you to decide what price you will sell it for, because no amount of money can buy it back .

| 360031 | 2005-06-01 01:25:00 | let me see, i only feel that speeding is wrong after i get my ticket, so I'll stick by my statement. Since i have niether raped or murdered anyone yet I cannot comment on your examples, but will let you know when it happens Ah, you were hasty in the comment you posted. Good of you to elaborate. By the way, there are signs posted along many roads indicating the speed limit. Check that against your speedometer and that will tell you whether you are wrong or not. |

Similar stories from others . " It seems that many people noticed that there was a delay in the billing process . Enough of them made enough "free" calls to overload the network . Guess what . All those calls will have been charged for by now . :D What is it with cell phones? I am starting to believe that they do cause serious brain damage to users . Or does a serious brain malfunction cause the use of cell phones? :@@: |

| 360034 | 2005-06-01 05:05:00 | You have sufficient mens rea that if telecom found out they could do what they please with you. Admitting over a public forum is not a wise move in terms of avoiding liability. See Millar v Ministry of Transport for dealing with honesty and lack of knowledge in terms of violations. Stupid law banging hundreds of cases into my brain... - David |

What are the basics of the case? |
