Re: Catch 22?
They might call it "conspiracy to commit copyright infringement" if you just visit the website. |

said by jsouth  :So what? Just visiting a site is not illegal, unless it is a child porn site. It just depends on how much of records the MPAA might get from their servers. If it's just IP addresses, then no biggy. However, if they're able to track down files accessed, IPs, etc. (ie. the full kabang), they'd know who downloaded what and when.
...course, having records indicating that you downloaded X bootleg files isn't 100% proof of anything - but seeing as how you'd be in a civil court, they just need to prove a case to 50%+ of the jury. |

The only problem is, if the lawsuit is indeed sucessful, the site may be required to hand over it's server logs as to who's visiting the place. Granted it's nothing super-specific, but I'd imagine they'd pick up folks' IP addresses. |
