Ram, Without the specifics of the situation, it may be somewhat difficult to spell out what the rights of the person who downloaded copyrighted material are, but I hope this link (10 Big Myths about Copyright Explained) will be of help to you: http://www.templetons.com/brad/copymyths.html Some takeaways from this article: a)"...almost everything created privately and originally after April 1, 1989 is copyrighted and protected whether it has a notice or not. " b)You don't have rights over copyrighted material unless those rights were "explicitly" granted to you. Of course, since laws differ between countries, you will have to check with a local expert on whether the points specified in the article apply in your locality/situation.
