For a civil case, the burden of proof is "on the balance of probabilities", rather than "beyond reasonable doubt".

All the proof you speak about (the IP address and the MAC address of your computer) is just data passing over a network. Those values can be altered. Would guilt still be beyond reasonable doubt?

But even if you secure your wifi then it still only takes less than 10 minutes to break (assuming you're using WEP). Then your neighbour (or his kids) can download anything over your network.
Should you still be held responsible then?
