A) How can they prove to a court that I have the software that is
covered by their EULA before searching? And, if they claim I have
"pirated" their software, how can they claim that I'm covered by the
EULA?
I don't think they have to prove anything. All they have to do is convince
the judge that there is a high enough probability that they will find what
they're looking for, and that what they're looking for is illegal.
EXACTLY, real proof is NOT required! there is a huge difference between
the different levels of the standards of proof, and you dont need to prove
anything to get the warrant just state that there is a reasonable chance you
will find what your out to prove.
One thing I wonder... A search warrant is related to criminal activity, but
the only BSA action I've heard about is civil. They're getting the
judge/police to prosecute a civil matter.
the police are not prosecuting just helping execute the police dont need to be
there, but they will be there upon request, and the entity conducting such
search is advised to have them there, its in there favior to have an officer in
a uniform show up with a geek with a pocket protector, it makes the entity with
the possible evidence more likely to allow the geek in the door.
