Most of the rest of the page is discussions of business models, the merits of 'piracy' (economic/service-wise and ethical) -- but the situation of the developers is the important issue. If there is a legal decision that open-source devs can be held liable for enabling illegal actions on the part of users, there will be a big "chilling effect" on software in that country, and a danger of other nations imposing the same rule. Consider the logical implications. Almost any software can be used illegally. If contributors are subject to liability even though their work is non-commercial and they do not encourage any illegal use, OSS will effectively become subject to a government permission regime, and development will go underground.
