you do realize the dcma safe harbor provision was balance to the take down notice rights granted.
dcma doesn't protect anyone, it just enforces a balance for a protection that already exist called fair use
that protection exists for torrenters already
in fact given what steve said about this being contingency based, i will make another prediction
this is going to result in establishment that seeding is fair use (given that fact that you never give away a single working copy, and create #pieces -1 redundant backups before a single working copy is produced)
doing a half assed jobs with these court cases is part of the reason the guys actually having good cases have to jump thru so many hoops before they can get to a judgement.
prediction you guys will be "thanking" steve for making it way harder, to get the pirates.
