are you saying that hypothetically, if the MPAA comes knocking on Roku's door with enough money and a fingerprint database of torrented movies/songs, Roku could then tell them they have people matching those fingerprints? After which I'm assuming they'd have enough justification to get a court order to get the contact info from Roku for matching users?
