Re: copyrights liability question
You will need the advise of a lawyer on this question.
Following are my thought:
(1) An ISP should not act until there is a complaint. And
I mean an official one, not just an e-mail.
(2) Copyright terrorists have been known to target small
and vulnerable ISPs to make examples out of us.
Your pick!
