Kushan, around the time of the letters being sent out from VM stating they are breaching copyright a friend of mine who is no longer alive received a letter stating he had downloaded hardcore adult material and the guy was 87 years old and had a laptop to keep in touch with family in London and was also an active member of a group who would put pressure on the local councils to get things done such as repairs to roads and so on.

Turned out his son who was apparently "a computer expert" fitted the wireless router for him and only used WPA security with a password that was 4 letters long.

When i logged into the router there were 5 devices connected to his connection and his laptop was turned off.

Like last time i think unless they get evidence in the way of confiscating computer equipment and looking at the material on the drives which would probably require some sort of court order, by that time the guilty party could have changed the hard drive and hidden the other one etc.
