| > Yes, though how responsible you are is debatable. Intent is important but ignorance is rarely a successful defense. Their was no intent. Someone was merely able to gain access to the computer without my expressed knowledge and download a file (hypothetical, of course). > Why wouldn't you be? I guess your assuming I've given them explicit access to the FTP server. > How is that any different? Or do you mean someone guessed the password? Sorry, I tried to state the conditions. In the previous question it was merely that, I setup an FTP server, I don't password protect it, but I don't publish that the site exists. So, yes, in the last question: someone guessed the password. > Of course, most of these answers are just my opinion/speculation. Sometimes the line between "piracy" and "sharing" is blurry which I think is a huge part of the problem. Agreed, which was the point of the exercise. We infer so much from simple actions. Intention is important, as you mentioned. |
