I wonder if there's any legal precedent for a friend being the jerk in a scenario like this. "Friend" uploads ebook/music track/magazine I bought and "lent" him/her to file sharing site or whatever. It's my name in there, so I'm going to be the one who's going to be sued.

- Entlin 16y agoIn other words, giving your book to somebody in good faith but the person then pirates it will cost you $300'000 (or at least it did in this case with Caridi and DVD screeners). In other words, you better not share, unless you've got a lot of money laying around...
- pmjordan 16y agoInteresting. Pre-release screener copies, which you're presumably not even allowed to show friends, would seem like a different kettle of fish than files which are publicly available for purchase.
