I had a few years ago. Big problem then I had to literally hunt this stuff down by myself and a few other pals. Had to stay away from the companies that did the hunting because if they screwed up once and accused someone wrong, it would have been my ass.
Problem is the constitutional issue vs. the copyright/trademark issue. Nowadays they're going after grandmas and kids but what happens if they screw up? Who's gonna take the fall? One case and it'd be all over for em'.
It's too shakey. Yet the saving grace is in the developement so that file sharing can't be done. Not acting like ambulance chasers.
P2P is now mainstream, it won't stop. They shut one company down like Napster and what happens? 10 others pop up and take their place.
This is going to be an interesting year coming up as I think there's going to be a way to prevent file sharing on the developer's end. Ironically this new technology is supposed to be coming from a Chinese company. I have an old assistant who hipped me to this a while back. We'll see.
