A few months ago I was at my brother's house helping my niece setup her laptop. When I went to connect to the WiFi they had in the house there were at least half a dozen other signals that I could reach that belonged to the various neighbors. Two of them had no security at all on them. I could see how someone like that could have their WiFi used for downloading, but I think the cases of people getting encrypted WiFi hacked for the purpose of downloading is pretty damn rare.

seriously
you just pointed out above that under this policy people who had unsecured wifi would have a chance to fix the problem by securing their wifi
if this policy was established how many unsecured wifi do you think you would find
the ony unsecured wifi would be people who know that you need a 20k router to properly protect yourself against open source tools currently available.
and your arguing those people should be throddled to hell

We can go back to the way you want it. The old fashioned way. With this technique the RIAA will decide that you are infringing and without warning they will file a suit against you asking for potentially thousands of dollars in damages and now you get the pleasure of hiring a lawyer and defending yourself against this and if you do win the case then you get to hope that your lawyer will get his fees paid by them. Even if it all works out in your favor and win the case how many hours of your time and how much stress are you going go through dealing with that? If you truly are innocent wouldn't you rather have them notify you that they think you are downloading and you can find out what is going on and put an end to it before anything gets started?

are you actually trying to justify this abuse by saying the old abuse was worse
do you realize that the old abuse was basically made illegal with the rulings that ip address is not proof of infringement.
