Re: Seattle man arrested in online file-sharing identity theft

"charged with mail fraud, accessing a protected computer, and two counts of aggravated identity theft"

""If you are running file-sharing software, you are giving criminals the keys to your computer," said assistant U.S. attorney Kathryn Warma"

Uhhh.. does this make any sense?
The person has permitted access to the computer and specifically those files.
I'm not by any means condoning any of his actions, it's just that this charge seems stupid.

I'll guess the computer in question wasn't one of the file sharing machines but one of the machines he used the stolen credentials to log onto such as Paypal etc...
