Re: Iunno

While they may have the complete file, they didn't download any of the file from the person being sued. They're matching the hash from a verified source and then just look to see if you have a file with the same hash.

For P2P networks that don't hash files, they're just looking at the name of the file being shared.

This came up last year when a woman in California tried to argue that since they didn't download the file from her, she technically was not distributing copyright material (only offering to distribute). I never heard what happened with that case, so she must have settled.

Not any more. They actually download the file as proof. She probably settled because she was going to lose that argument.
