For Legal Purposes: No, officer, I do not pirate, just curious… 👀 🤫

Edit: Yes I’m in the US, but I’m also curious about other countries laws, so please share. I’m curious to know the difference.

    I’m not a lawyer and haven’t had such a situation before, but isn’t the burden of proof supposed to be on the accuser, not the accused? They’re the ones who need to prove the files have been illegally obtained, not the other way around.
