I think this assumption is wrong. Ignoring anything else, if there is one thing that the copyright enforcer likely has, it is an agreement with the copyright holder. Which can quite easily say "can use some limited contents of IP for purpose of identifying sharers..." That's the beauty of owning the copyright - you get to do what you like with your property... iang _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
