I won't bother trotting out my qualifications, but I will say this much: any second-year law student who has taken one Intellectual Property or Copyright Law class with access to LexisNexis or WestLaw can tell you what constitutes copyright infringement. "Is downloading the latest episode of...

You're of course right that fair use might excuse potential infringement. But don't forget about MGM v. Grokster, 545 U.S. 913 (2005). And, for a more germane case (although it's not SCOTUS-level), please see Capitol v. Thomas -- a garden-variety "woman downloads mp3s" case. I think it would...

You know, I'll echo what everyone said before - this sounds like one damn cool system! :p I think you should flesh it out, because I'd like to hear more of it; it sounds, for lack of a better term, elegant and easily manageable.
