"After that, the legal eagles allegedly created a sham "hacking" case in 
which they recruited people who pretended to be some hackers who obtained 
and leaked the porno movies online. That allowed the Prenda team to 
convince a court to subpoena ISPs to get the identities of people who 
downloaded the files as part of the discovery process while prosecuting 
the stooge hackers."

Wonder how much more easily this (and the inevitable similar scams to 
follow) would be achieved with the "warantless" access that is (or will 
be) available.
