I was talking about the companies mentioned in the original article which have stood up to judicial scrutiny despite having ridiculous setups that exist solely to circumvent prosecution. Judges clearly don't mind that.

> Congress will recognize that as a bug and modify the law.

Why are you so sure of that?

I consider it fairly obvious what Congress would do if ever became legal that one person with one copy of a movie or song can legally and instantly share it with millions of his "friends" online. The same way I consider it fairly obvious what Congress would do if it somehow became legal to manufacture your own dollar bills.

Some people would say it's because of "Big Hollywood" or "the mafIAA" or whatever, but regardless of the spin, Congress would still act.

But Congress obviously isn't doing anything about filling a data center with thousands of antennas and temporarily assigning them to individual customers in order to circumvent public performance restrictions.

At least in this case, talking about what decisions will "obviously" be made beforehand seems unwise.

Well you neglected to mention the aspect of it being a large number of shares in your last post. Congress doesn't know who my friends are and I should be able to loan out a movie to a handful of people over time if I want to.
