I guess it’s about US law? Idc, here’s German law: As far as I know, pirated content so far hadn’t any relevance in lawsuits based on house seraches. Normally you got problems worse than piracy when they search your house/seize electronics and piracy when discovered so far wasn’t an extra count in lawsuits. But if they really have the urgent need to accuse you of something, they will take whatever they can and only because it so far wasn’t an extra count it doesn’t mean they didn’t reagard it as detail which may has an influence on the verdict.
Just what could have the hypothetical friend done hypothetically more detailled so they hypothetically seize the hypothetical electronics?
