Re: Some things I've never understood.... said by Bahnzo:2. Since you have to share the file to harvest the IP's of the other users downloading and sharing, doesn't that create some sort of legal snafu? I mean if you yourself are sharing copyrighted material to catch others who do, isn't that entrapment? Aside from the fact that entrapment may not apply in a civil tort, most P2P streams are joined by the guardian types, and the sharing was already underway when they joined. So they would not be "soliciting an illegal act".
P.S. Though one could try to make the case that they are abetting an illegal act.
