That excuse might work with your mother. But in a court of law, you better convince a jury or judge that your excuse is true. The prosecutor could show evidence that you have a history of lying or you associate with pirates or that your story is inconsistent. It is not necessary to rule out any doubt that a person is guilty. It is only necessary to convince a judge or jury.
Gideon, you stated in another thread that you belive "fair use" rights allows you to make an unlimited number of redundant backups. You are very very mistaken if you think you have a legal right in all countries to make as many backups as you want with copyright protected material. "Fair use" does not mean "gideon can make as many backup copies as he wants and do whatever he wants with those copies". It's time for you to grow up.
