Ah, Thatcher's Dream. I'm alright Jack, fuck you.
And are you 100% sure your designer paid for every font on your site? And has that documented? You've seen his license for whatever editing software your editor uses? And the guy that does your music, you are totally sure he paid for his copy of Logic, and all the plug ins?
Even if all that is totally legal, all it takes, and I struggle to see why people don't get this, is for someone you've pissed off to report you and then with no judicial process, 5 days later your site has its billing and hosting removed.
You think this is a good solution?
Really?
No one is saying piracy is good. But this bill is not a tenable solution.

Sorry to disappoint but the answer is yes, our editing program is paid for, and the programs our designer uses, and our musicians....
It is not Thatcher "I am all Right" that we commission music and pay for it, quite the opposite.
That is not selfish, there is a whole community of film makers who make films for Broadcast, as part of the contract with the TV companies they have to declare all the clearances and copy write material used. Every TV program has to be cleared in this way. If I saw a piece of my footage on a TV program without my consent I can have that program stopped.
One of my site was hacked and banned by Google yesterday, how nice it would be if they had given me 5 days notice to have it cleared.
