Well if it's not you and you don't file charges on the person driving your car for theft then it's assumed you gave them permission to drive your car. With an IP you can't prove WHO did the downloading. Maybe someone leached off your wi-fi or hacked into it? what about PUBLIC wi-fi which is most times unsecured? If you want to put an end to that a law like this is a good idea. Maybe if that many people think a $15 movie is too much then maybe the answer is selling the movie for LESS. Netflix has actually passed torrents as the most used application on the internet. People are actually torrenting LESS and they are actually PAYING for Netflix subscriptions. So in many cases it's not that people want FREE stuff they just want what they feel is as fair price. If content owners would allow more newer stuff on Netflix streaming torrenting would further be reduced.
