I am operating with two not big paysites now.
As you know some user accounts could be stolen. Not very big problem, as we usually automatically ban such accounts. But some members, that looks good for a first glance, are downloading photo and video archives then share or distribute them without our permission. Okay, there are techniques that allow us to tag each photo, zip archive, video file, and we at least could figure out who is our happy Robin Hood.
So, my question was: what legal action could be performed to this Robin Hood?
Tagging the content... it is like providing to each customer a personal license.
Another question is: what legal action could be performed for people, who are using illegal
(not licensed to them personally content)?
Is it real to create a precedent?.. Just for example create dozen of torrent, sites, boards filled with links to stolen content. Before downloading... user must confirm: that he want to use illegal content, that he do not want to pay any single cent to content producer, and he, probably will share it... etc.. etc.. etc.
After downloading or uploading (even better) ? he is jailed, as it works as mousetrap.
(I mean,
- his IP and unique data could be added to the blacklist,
- legal actions could be performed, as user said that he is a pirate himself.
- And other illegal distribution channels could be discredited in this way...
(Because any of it could finally appears to be a trap, with unpleasant consequences).
