Unprotected or comprimised wireless internet routers or trojaned computers are a real possibility. If I had been on that jury I would have needed evidence that she was the one actually doing it. Not just evidence that it involved her IP.

I read an
article on Tech Dirt about it. In that article they mentioned that she had used the same user name on kazaa that she used on a lot of other programs as well. That's what made their case stronger.
Plus, from what I've read, it wasn't because she was 'downloading' files, she was being sued because she made the files available to others.
So, correct me if I'm wrong, but downloading files aren't what's illegal here, it is sharing or making them available for others that is the legal issue, right?
