No, only the ones who give their computer to someone they know is most likely to pirate all the stuff they have decided to leave on their computer. I refuse to absolve them of responsibility for their actions on the grounds of needing their computer fixed.

I will grant that they are eligible for the Ostrich defense. Also, the likelihood of any court of law ever convicting anyone of digital piracy is not very large.

But yes, my personal opinion is: Guilty As Hell.
Idiocy is not an excuse.

From the sound of it, in certain parts of the world you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who regards the matter as illegal or immoral anyway, even if you yourself did it deliberately, so it is rather a moot point.
