P2P-Zone - View Single Post - Heh, wishful thinking, false sense of protection or does he have a point here?

it's thought provoking but i doubt he'd get any legal traction from his notice. on the other hand if he stated the server was "closed to everyone," he'd have a much better chance of escaping the "uploader as distributor" label the riaa is attempting to pin on file sharers, especially if he had a clickable acceptance box. by clicking yes and then commencing a transfer anyway, all downloaders would in effect be trespassing, and that would weaken the riaa's distribution case against him. as to why he's running a p2p in the first place, well he might need to transfer files between his own machines, and require a free and efficient way to do so.
