really giddyboy?
you really want that??
I'm not saying that it needs to be the only reason that the cops / court needs
I do think that it needs to be INSTANT justification for an investigation, including search warrants, wire taps, other surveilance - whatever is necessary and equal to the alleged crime.
otherwise the cp guys can never be caught - just do their thing on a wireless and there you go - instant defense (because any evidence found after that is inadmissable)
the credit card frauders need only use the neighbours wireless and they are instantly scott-free
forget the nigerian spammers/scammers - just wait til the American wannabe's are given a free pass via the "i didn't do it' defense
and on and on and on
everything you spout in every thread, points to a 'everything is 'free' on the internet simply to keep the 'traffic' up so the scammers have a huge flock of sheep to shear and are untouchable because of the 'I have an unsecured wireless' defense.
I say fuck that - there has to be a stop-point for the law to step in.
or maybe you are just an anarchist - in that case I have truely wasted a LOT of time debating with you

did you even read the article
even in the CP case they ultimately found the next door neighbour who was actually downloading the CP.
the same techniques they used after they realized their mistake could have been used BEFORE they broke down the door
that all we are talking about
rather than violating the principle of being innocent until proven guilty
actually get the proof first.
