[ NNSquad ] Re: RIAA to stop suing file-sharers, will work with ISPs to cut off repeat offenders
==========================
The RIAA won't find you hosting illegal content on that ISP's network, and
hence won't issue a notice to that ISP, unless you are transmitting or
receiving it through the ISP's network.
==========================
True or False?
Does the existence of a copyrighted work in a networked/unprotected
directory on your computer imply that you used your current ISP to
send/receive a copy?

[ Answer: False. But ya' see, the RIAA doesn't really care which
ISP (if any) was involved. Their assumption seems to be that the
mere *existence* of a copyrighted work in an unprotected space
implies a likely actionable violation. Du-be-du-be due process?
