That's the flaw in your logic. The cops don't do some magic little 5 minute search of your computer in your home. If they come, they ARREST you. They charge you on suspicion of downloading/possessing cp, they confiscate your computer(s) and everything related to your computer and online business they can find, and they send it off to a forensic analysis location until they can figure out what they're dealing with and what evidence they can find against you or, yes, anyone who may have been using your connection.
Now, whether they can identify an individual user from your computer, as in someone who may have been sitting outside your house in their vehicle hijacking your signal, is another matter. If they can't, YOU my friend would be on the hook in full.
And even if they don't find anything cp-related on your hd, your life is disrupted big time by their intrusion and charges etc. The only thing "plain and simple" here is what I've already said twice in this thread.... stop rationalizing. Theft is theft. Period. I would rather have a law like this in place than have it be legal for some anon fuckhead to sit out front of my house in his car raping my signal and downloading (or uploading) god knows what.
