See, the legal system has this thing called “intent” and courts are decently adept at figuring it out. If you actually did fat finger something, you could probably prove that. Maybe you only connected once for a quick second. But if you connected multiple times over several days, and forensic evidence showed you deliberately downloaded things, well, that’s intent.

I see this all the time in technology: people come up with contrived counterexamples to expose some non-existent flaw in the legal system that they get really defensive about. The legal system isn’t like a computer. If you really did make a mistake, that should become obvious in the ideal case.
