Nice, should make one of these for bittorrent swarms too!

If you haven't didn't seed, or didn't seed the whole file, it would be easy to tear apart the case. One federal court circuit created "contributory copyright infringement", which is not a creature of the legislation at all, but even that is on weak legs, assuming you ever got to court.

That's an interesting idea. But it doesn't quite translate because each individual copyright infringement case has its own facts, you either did it or not. With patent infringement, the validity of the patent affects every potential plaintiff the same way. But it's something to consider in the future. Thanks.
