The music and film lobby has in many cases convinced The Law that the ISP subscriber account holder is culpable for material originating from hir unique IP. If by way of your computer you become an unwitting participant in a p2p filesharing operation, or you leave the wifi settings of a router insecure and a person uses your bandwidth for p2p, you are no longer treated as a victim. With the great economic reliance on internet bandwidth these days, it seems that soon those unwitting participants in DDoS attacks or spamhauses will be viewed in the same light, because of the negative economic impact such nefarious activities have on businesses.
