I would argue that distributing is a different issue from producing. In the p2P case you used, I see the producer as the person who prepares the data and/or originally seeds it. Everyone else is just a distributor.
"In P2P I think downloaders should have some responsibility since they request that copies be made."
why do you just limit it to P2P? Are people who buy pirated movies or pirated books guilty of the same crime?
- 18pfsmt 15y agoAre people who buy pirated movies or pirated books guilty of the same crime? I think it's important to remember that non-commercial distribution is a civil matter, _not_ criminal. That is no small distinction as it determines who will bare the cost of enforcing these rights. Criminal matters are funded by the tax payer.
- joshAg 15y agois non-commercial production civil or criminal? i assume commercial production would primarily be a criminal proceeding , though the victim is also able to sue for damages and reimbursement. Is it the same for non-commercial production?
