"...the judge found that simply downloading a song or having a file
available on peer-to-peer software such as Kazaa doesn't constitute
copyright infringement.
"The mere fact of placing a copy on a shared directory in a computer where
that copy can be accessed via a P2P service does not amount to
distribution," Judge von Finckenstein said.
"Before it constitutes distribution, there must be a positive act by the
owner of the shared directory, such as sending out the copies or advertising
that they are available for copying."
