The Volokh Conspiracy - Interesting Quote from Judge Silverman of the Ninth Circuit,

rejecting a claim that a LimeWire user had a reasonable expectation of privacy in his files exposed to other users on the network because he didn't realize the peer-to-peer software was configured to allow other users to observe his files:

To argue that [he] lacked the technical savvy or good sense to configure LimeWire to prevent access to his pornography files is like saying that he did not know enough to close his drapes.

United States v. Ganoe.
