| getting sued/threatened for downloading?? I was wondering IF it is possible, and if so, HOW for a copyright gestapo organisation (e.g RIAA) to sue someone for DOWNLOADING? I understand how they could sue someone for uploading..... that person is distributing their copyright material for free and the copyright gestapo can easily find out by simply d/l'ing the file and getting their IP address. However, i've heard recently of the MPAA issuing warnings to people that have been DOWNLOADING movies etc. The only way i can see this would be possible is if the MPAA PUT THEIR OWN COPYRIGHT MATERIAL ONLINE FOR OTHERS TO DOWNLOAD FOR FREE. If not, can anyone explain how/why? |
