Submission + - End of RIAA/MPAA frivolousness?
HuckleCom writes: In light of the seemingly ongoing subpoenas from the RIAA and MPAA, who have the finger pointed at a person behind a computer working a P2P program and in light of ongoing Windows vulnerabilities, I ask this question:
What would happen in the rise of a virus/worm/trojan that would tap into BitTorrent trackers or use raw connections to different P2P networks and download random music and video?
It seems we don't sue people for taking a fraction of a part of a DDoS attack through unknowingly installing a virus. Could the release of something like this be the end of RIAA/MPAA lawsuits because individuals may claim inadvertent downloads?
