The notion that companies that provide file sharing services can be held liable for their customers copyright violations is interesting....
Many companies advertize their services explicitly as a way to STEAL CONTENT UNDER COPYRIGHT......!! No wonder they are in trouble with the courts....
Now file sharing will have be WARN AGAINST USING THEIR SERVICES TO VIOLATE COPYRIGHT LAW. But will they have to moderate their customers' usage to avoid liability? Probably not.
All these companies have to do is act like those "grape juice" sellers during Prohitiion....who gave DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW "NOT" TO TURN THEIR GRAPE JUICE INTO WINE!
1. DO NOT ADD YEAST
2. DO NOT ALLOW TO FERMENT
3. DO NOT AGE FOR SIX MONTHS.
WARNING: IF YOU DO THESE THINGS AS INSTRUCTED YOU COULD MAKE A GREAT WINE.....WHICH WOULD BE ILLEGAL!
GET THE PICTURE.....?
