Like for example: a drug raid, or they’re accusing you of illegal hacking, or some sort of TheSilkRoad type of stuff.

Assuming the original investigation find no evidence and leads to no charges, could they use the pirated content that you have as a last ditch effort to get you in prison? Not distributing, just personal use.

Not limited to any specific jurisdiction, just want to know what happens in general.

    what would happen is, in general, all about the specific jurisdiction. in my country, downloading anything is not illegal, what can be illegal is sharing stuff you don’t own.

    so in your case, nothing would happen, not because of the pirated content. (i mean if they really wanted to get you and all they had to work with would be your disney collection, they would probably try to prove you shared/sold it).
