ergophobe, I follow you, but the system is called file-sharing (P2P or websites), and some people share copyrighted files making it illegal-file-sharing. It's just what it's called in our words, in the court it's called copyright infringement. The problem with the latter is that some users of this forum may be confused thinking we talk about stealing copyrighted materials, yet we actually talk about CAS, which is created to stop sharing of copyrighted materials.

I'll quote from CAS website:

Consumers whose accounts have been used to share copyrighted content over P2P networks illegally (or without authority) will receive Alerts...


Now, [finally] getting closer to the topic, what does this give to the average webmaster of publisher? I personally don't feel comfortable being in a room with fat cats, let alone a union of fat cats. Something tells me that one day they will come after small and average websites and publishers, taking over the web, or should I say sharing (irony?) the web between them...
