Until a clear, precise answer to this question is available, it is unreasonable to expect individuals to take risks and seed.

It is one thing if an organization like IA gets in trouble with the law. They have money, lawyers, name recognition and are big enough to at least fight a lawsuit, even if they lose. Who is going to help an individual if he/she gets in trouble with the law, unknowingly? Am I expected to read through tons of complex copyright law and interpret it, just so I can seed a handful of items? No thanks.
