Here's a radical idea — make it so that the copyright owner has to prove beyond reasonable doubt (or on the balance of probabilities if you prefer) that they actually downloaded whatever they are accused of downloading. Then punish the person who did it without punishing the rest of their family.

Was there really anything seriously wrong with that way of handling it?
