| No, in that case, the person who stole the car would get in trouble because they had taken something that wasn't theirs and used it for malicious purposes on top of it. Where as in this case it would be the person downloading/uploading the content that wasn't there's that would be busted. Now if it's being done on another persons connection without their knowledge, yes it is bad but it does happen. I think a person who didn't do anything wrong would stand a better chance in court with the argument that "they didn't know" if they actually can prove they had taken steps to prevent that. The biggest catch here would be catching the real offender. To be honest with you I think it all boils down to that they have to sue someone and if all they can get is to who's connection it is than it would be bad. NAT poses a big problem with this situation I think since you can't tell the real source of the downloading. |
