Then why don't they consider it breaking and entering? If I go to the local wal-mart and "steal" a big screen tv, does that give wal-mart the right to break into my house to see if I stole it, and then file a sepeona? No. It requires them to go through the law, showing proof that I stole it from the STORE, as the company not allowed on my property, no matter how big the company is. IMHO, it is the same with computers. No one has the right to break into my computer to see if I stole anything from them, without the proper authority given to them by the law. The RIAA has not been given this authority. Even if they used a sniffer or something like that, the Internet is not considered their network. Would this not be an interception of a communication and considered line tapping, which is illegal as well? The RIAA needs to do things "legally" to make a case. So far I haven't seen this happening. They have been acting like the mafia, trying to make their own law.
