If you want to get reaaally technical, you could ask yourself what would happen if a song was downloaded from the US, by someone in the UK, who got caught in AUS on holiday??? at the end of the day, the 'crime' details origniated in two separate jurisdictions and are being processed in a completely different country altogether... basically my point is, i dont think they can really police it unless there is a global standard as viewing it as a crime, and a corresponding view of judgement. even then, it's still simply a breach of privacy. i’d have to agree… the fact that it’s an invasion of privacy is a complete breach of rights… no suprises there though…
