Yeah sounds like his defense is everyone does it and I don't know any better.

First never admit to anything on computer if you can wipe it evidence is pretty flaky.
truecrypt. anything that is potentially bad keep it in a container anything happens just shift delete and done.
And I hate people like this. My parents hate me downloading stuff thinking I'm gonna get screwed like that idiot.
If you are a member at filesharing talk you should at least have a basic knowledge of whats safe and not.
People liek this I don't really feel bad for them, They need to research something if it can mess them up in the end.
Cmon I'm 16 and I use usenet to keep safe got private tracker.
And this kid is in college thats sad.

^^^ shift+del doesnt completely wipe files from your drive they are still recoverable, you need a hotkey setup that runs deban or something to completely wipe a drive and then have it blow up to be sure its gone. those fbi agents have tricks up their selves that youve never even seen.

His biggest mistake was admitting to anything. I thought Charles Nesson was supposed to be the giant-slaying law professor. Seems like a pretty lame strategy to have your client admit guilt. Perhaps the record industry was threatening to go after his family's assets...
Certainly not good news for those who enjoy online freedoms or free exchange of information.
they only do these huge fines as a scare tactic. its like that one chick that got busted for dling like 20 songs and her fine was well into the millions. but they offered to settle it out of court for under 20g (which she didnt do thinking a jury would side with her), which still sucks but its a lot better then a few mil. thats why he is admitting guilt. i bet he has some plea bargain setup, since the riaa will never see 700,000 from this guy.

That's true, but if you use Truecrypt as he mentioned they will only be able to recover garbage, no useful evidence.

no encryption is 100%, the only real way to keep your data safe is if it isnt there in the first place, ie blow that shit up.
