Besides, just as with my gun example, they can then track the file back to you. Just because the file originated with you doesn't automatically make you guilty if it winds up on file sharing site, but they can continue to follow the trail of borrowers down to the real culprit. Exactly the way it should be.
I doubt even Harlan Ellison would go to that much trouble. They'd just get the IP of the uploader and use that as evidence of guilt. Governments of the world are falling over themselves to remove the need for any further evidence in the name of saving money and chasing this mythical $75trillion that is missing from the economy. As long as someone pays the fine, who cares if they are guilty or not?
