RIAA wins court case

Woman downloads songs. RIAA sues woman. RIAA wins.

RIAA:
  • Does not have to prove your computer had a file sharing application installed.

  • Does not have to prove anyone downloaded the shared file, only that one was being shared.

  • Does not have to prove you are the person associated with the file-sharing account identified as sharing infringing files.

  • Does not require any physical evidence, such as hard drives or media: your IP and MAC address being associated with illegally shared files is enough to secure a judgment.

  • Does not have to prove you were using the computer at the moment investigators accessed the files you are alleged to be sharing.

Does someone else see something wrong with this situation? That's a lot of important points the RIAA doesn't have to prove to win the case.
