[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 1400948, member: 5151"] It's holding up in court [I]as circumstantial evidence in support of hard evidence[/I] as grounds for probable cause. It has not held up in court as hard evidence. In fact, the RIAA has been known to withdraw lawsuits on their own as soon as you show that someone else may have had access to your computer or network. Take, for example, the FBI's child porn honeypots. They post a link on known forums based overseas that are used to distribute child porn. The link sends the user to a webpage that contains no illegal material, but is operated by the FBI. If the logged IP address hits as being U.S. based, the FBI gets a search warrant. (Of course, some people share a single public IP through their ISP with hundreds of other people...) By the way, that honeypot scenario makes it exceedingly easy to frame someone. [/QUOTE]
