To say "but my WiFi network is unsecured, so anybody could have used it" is, IMHO, a pretty feeble excuse - it's your responsibility to ensure that your property IS appropriately secured.

it is your responsibility to ensure that you close your door so that thieves don't trespass... but if the thieves simply blast the door away, then should you be held accountable as well? "Appropriately secured" means nothing in the internet. Even AES256-encrypted files can be unveiled, so imagine what can be done with a domestic network.
I mean this because in most of these cases, we're talking of networks with some degree of security (say, WEP or WPA1) which are cracked and exploited for the illegal deeds. I'm not sure I want to hold someone accountable for something that he or she doesn't have any understanding about. That's one of the specialties of copyright enforcers'.
