yes you do except where an offence has been made absolute like drink driving ( and even that can be mitigated if you can show you didn't know you were consuming alcohol)
even in civil proceeding where you dont have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt you still have to show that they can reasonably be seen as intending to do something
so if you put a knife outside on your wall on purpose you would likely be seen as knowing someone may take it but if its in your draw in your kitchen its unlikely that you meant some one to take it
with a computer they may be able to say its like that wall if you have p2p set to share to all where you had to set it to do that yourself
even then they would have to show you knew how that software worked or that you were negligent in allowing your children to install it ( thats if you knew about it )
and there are just so many ways of it ending up on the net anyhow not from your ip that i really see it as a non runner
for example just yesterday i plugged my mp3 into a friends computer to download a file i had on there am i really supposed to check that he has no p2p set to scan for media running? how do i check what my children do with thier mp3's when they visit friends ?
all of this would cause even the lesser proof needed of a civil action plus the first prosecution would like find many just leaving the service just incase
as to the price i very much doubt anything much over £10 will be seen as a good price as in my experience people will still buy cds as they really like even though i have the mp3s already so its not an alternative to them especially as the quallity is unlikey to be as good as the cd version
if the catalogue is truly unlimited and covers all the major labels then i may go as high as £20 but again if i thought that they would be casing any mps's that escaped my house lol i wouldn't bother
ah well of to check high scores that mini pool is to addictive
