I would love to see the down loader who adopts that defense. Especially one who can produce his hard drive.
i suggest you look up the case law, the riaa has already ceded the point that recovery from p2p is not illegal. Even in the cases that the won when the defendent produced evidence that they bought the song they excluded them from the list of infringements.

They don't want to fight on that bases, knowing that if they lose bit torrent would be come as legal as vcr.

and providing the service would be as legal as walmart selling vcrs.

I would so hope that RIAA actually fights such a case, in front of a jury.
