Perhaps you then want to have poor security. No matter how hard you try you 
could be penetrated, and someone else could make such an illegal download.

As long as you can show it would easily be possible for the DL to have been 
made by someone else, then a "reasonable doubt" would exist.

Ooops, I forgot, with such matters you are no longer "innocent until proven 
guilty beyond a reasonable doubt".

So is there a legal requirement to have impenetrable security? That would be 
hard to enforce, since the Pentagon and other government entities seem 
incapable of doing it.
