A federal magistrate is granting Sony the right to acquire the internet IP addresses of anybody who has visited PlayStation 3 hacker George Hotz’s website from January of 2009 to the present

Now criminal law requires some burden of proof like intent. However, who's to say a corporate lawyer can't send a letter under civil law to anyone on that list saying essentially "prove you're innocent or we'll litigate you into the ground"?

GM already addressed that. Some GM cars have no radiator cap. You cannot be trusted to see what is inside. Management cut costs. And then blamed unions for stealing your radiator cap.
