Unless RIAA can pin you down with more credible evidence than an IP address/MAC address, how can they prove anything? Furthermore, maybe those of us with older wireless gear (WEP w/ no WPA) can start to point the finger of blame at Linksys, Netgear, or whomever. If these companies don't supply us with the means to adequately protect our personal networks, how can we be responsible for them? My "best efforts" of applying WEP is easily circumvented by the determined wardrviers and neighbors.
