I would wager that even you, someone who has been in business on the internet for the past 20 years, has little more than a vague idea how the internet works...
How exactly will this step work: "quick forensics of their computer will prove they are innocent OR guilty"?
Who will pick up the equipment? who will perform the forensics? who will pay for it? how exactly will innocence or guilt be determined?
I'm not trying to sound like I support gideongallery and his pro-piracy movement, I don't, but the solution to the problem needs to be realistic... What you proposed is far from feasible...

You don't sound like you support gideongallery. But I can tell you that I don't know one person who isn't computer savvy anymore. And that includes children and older people (my mom is 66 and runs her own forum).
As far as the authorities going through your computer? They do it everyday. They will confiscate your computer and look at what's on your hard drive. Happens all the time.
If it's shown that my IP is downloading and uploading stolen content...then yes they can get my computer and very quickly look at the hard drive and see if I have that content. And they can also find out things I've deleted and what my surfing history is...I've had complete hard drives restored that were completely trashed as far back as 1998. It's not that difficult to find out everything that has ever been on a computer, that's why companies sell encryption software to stop that.
I'm just saying...the days of us thinking we are web "Masters" and the majority of people are ignorant are way over. Most of the clowns on GFY who think they are "webmasters" have less computer knowledge than today's 12 year old.
