- rtkwe 5y agoIt's close enough though that it's a pretty easy case to make for contributory infringement.
- mechanical_bear 5y agoThat certainly isn’t settled law.
- coldtea 5y agoGood luck arguing that in court
- coldtea 5y agoThat's more like a drug dealer caught with 200 plastic bags of cocaine saying plastic bags are not illegal, they contain no drug substances at all. Sure, but most of the torrents they had there pointed to copyrighted data, and facilitated their download, which is illegal.
- phoneperson 5y agoMore like someone telling people who their dealer is, except the dealers give away copies of books for free, some legal but most illegal.
