In the UK there was exactly the same thing where a old lady was accused of downloading hardcore gay nazi porn. The papers were all over it, rightly so.

It illustrates there is no evidence of a crime, just a bunch of ambulance chasing scum trying to scam people out of money through fear.

The louder this gets shouted, the more chance of the scam getting shut down. As it now has been in the UK.
i think the big case that tipped it over the edge was the guy who was accused of downloading content AFTER he died

it was insane because the lawyers tried to argue it was still legit because the estate was responsible for the actions of the ghost.
