In England the subway arrives from right to left, not form left to right.
It's random, actually. It could come from any direction, there's no rule.
Very, very often, the individual cables (0v, 5v, D+, D-) within the cable aren't shielded from each other, there's just a shield round the whole lot.
This attack talks about data getting from the data lines to the ground line, which would still happen with most USB cables, certainly the vast majority of keyboards I'd reckon.
More likley to knock the noise out is the fact that the data is transmitted as D+ and D- in USB. If the D+ leaks onto the 0v wire, the D- can also leak, which just cancels the D+ out, so nothing is seen.
From Torrentfreak: "Neither has it been shown that Fredrik made any money from the site argued Nilsson. There was some advertising revenue generated by the site, he said, but this went to cover the site's operating costs."
The court doesn't hand out fines that can't be paid back - it's not in the court's interest.
