| copyright material: how easy is it going to be (a) establishing exactly who
| downloaded it and (b) cutting off that person?

| that someone tries to accuse me of sharing files illegallyâ..lets see how

| proprietary model? ÂMaybe you should now be looking towards FOSS and the GPL?
| You certainly donât have to worry about sharing issues then.
