Now we have to wait for Bush's dodgy patriot act to die before we can enjoy constitutional rights again, namely the freedom from illegal search and seizure by means of police hacking (in this case). Or maybe a programmer more talented then myself will give us a means to bite back at the MPAA and RIAA, the corporate machines/devils at work.

The MPAA and RIAA do not own the rights to movies or musice. The movie studios and recording companies do. So if you get a nasty letter from them you got them on that alone. Second and the most powerful points people are missing is that if they install a malicious program on your system they are guilty of computer espionage and if that program does a search of your system without your consent then they are guilty of violating the 4th amendment which clearly states no unreasonable searches and seizures. So if they installed a piece of software on your computer that searches your computer without you specifically authorizing the search then THEY are guilty and you can file a motion to supress evidence of that search. Without the evidence, the case falls apart very quickly. It is very simple. The MPAA and RIAA do not own the rights to movies or musice. The movie studios and recording companies do.
