> With torrents, every downloader is also uploading data, that's the point of torrents. That's inaccurate. You can configure if you're providing upload capacity, but other peers can penalize you for that. > good luck proofing in court that you did that. That isn't how the legal system works. They have to prove you uploaded since that is the infringement at the core of their suite. The emphasis is on them to prove both infringement, responsibility, and monetary damages. Which brings us back to my earlier point which so far hasn't been answered: They have to show damages to successfully sue you in a civil court. How do they show damages here?
