Would love to hear someone with a law degree opine on this. I know we have a few lawyers frequenting GFY, would love to hear from them.
Yeah people forget that judges aren't stupid (must of the time). They know a thief when they see one. "The video itself isn't on my server" is the same as "I leave the stolen cars on the street in front of my house, not on my property. Only the keys are in my house, in my pocket. So I'm not a car thief."

I don't know anything about Boneprone's sites, but obviously if someone is ripping content that makes them a thief. "I didn't host it on my server" means squat.

(Obviously one could rip CCL licensed content, but that doesn't apply.)
