:This is common sense... but not really a high burden for the RIAA.
All they have to prove is that a copyrighted file was actually downloaded by someone else.... instead of just being offered. ... This really offers little protection for the offender.
What it does mean is that in the lawsuit the RIAA would have to prove you actually broke the law instead of just assuming you did.
I agree, this isn't hard to prove. All they have to do is watch what hosts are connected to the peer and when they are downloading. It isn't rocket science or anything.
