I'm not sure this is the same case I have heard of before, but let's assume this person was torrenting some popular songs.
How much does it matter that he was distributing and not just downloading, if there were hundreds of others seeding at the same time? Other downloaders would have been inconvenienced just very slightly by him not being there. Did his contribution lead to an appreciable number of extra downloads, or did it just help the same number of pirates download faster?

- noonespecial 17y agoThat's actually so good I'm just going to repeat it: With which I just mean to say that there are gradations in distribution That's exactly what this whole thing is missing. No one has stopped to calculate what the impact (in monetary damages, even hypothetically on the download==lost sale metric) of a bittorrent client running for x days at home connection upload speed.
