- Comment on Hosting files on the LAN to trusted folks at a LAN party -- FTP? 1 week ago:
By the life of the party by bringing crossover cable, allowing you run ethernet directly from one laptop to the other for some intimate social networking. Keeps the LAN uncongested for everyone else.
Nice ethernet hardware will detect if you cable is not a crossover cable in this situation and reverse the pin mappings for you.

It’s all fun and games until someone brings a USB 2.0 thumb drive.
The file could transferred over the LAN and the network de-saturated faster the file could be copied off a USB 2 drive.

You could likely have a free initial meeting with a lawyer to confirm a law had been broken and get a general idea of their fees and your odds of success.
Sounds like it would be your brother’s word against the public defenders. Sounds tough.
Yes, you could file paperwork for a lawsuit. Affording the legal help and winning the suit are different matters.
