the problem is that the real offender in those cases was some hacker who accessed the network and the accused was simply an innocent victem too.

It would be the equivalent of government getting access to all your banking information
and if they find that little john stole his dad's credit card to access your site, you going to jail for selling porn to minors.
So if the pirates stopped stealing there would be no problem.

Your stance is so stupid it's only pirates hanging on by their finger nails who use it. But I'm sure you've heard this said on so many pirates boards you think it holds water.

Innocent people go to prison for all sorts of crimes. You're arguing because policing is not infallible we should not police at all. Stupid beyond belief. I'm sure if a crime was committed against you and the police told you they were not investigating the crime because there was a slight chance they get the wrong person you would rightly be pissed off.

Send me your address and I will send a couple of heavies around to thump you and we can see if you think the police should ignore it.
