[QUOTE="Hadrian the Builder, post: 4970820, member: 73776"] I can agree to disagree. I am not trying to convert. I am trying to understand. Based on the choice of remedies (in post #32), it seems that the wronged party can choose the most profitable remedy. So, it is legally viable to produce something worth $40, then sue pirates for $750-$30,000 per infringement. Does the idea of "no more than an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" have no place in the law? It did just occur to me that these laws are structured to focus on the first person in the piracy chain. The guy who shares his stuff in the first place that lets it get out, the seeder. But what about the leeches? Are they liable for one infringement? What if I leech from 2 seeders? How many infringements is that? Once the seeder has seeded one copy to one leech, that file never really goes away. If there are 5,000 copies at the time of the suit, he's liable for 5,000 copies right? But after the suit, another 1,000 copies show up from different seeders. Can he be sued for the new copies? [/QUOTE]
