RIAA claims that having a shared file folder with copyrighted files is infringement … even if the files were legally obtained and were never uploaded.
From Ray Beckerman's blog:
In its briefs responding to the amicus curiae briefs of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the U.S. Internet Industry Association, and the Computer & Communications Industry Association, the RIAA argues that merely having a shared files folder with copyrighted material in it — even if the files in it were legally authorized copies, and even if the files were never uploaded and copied by anyone from the shared files folder — is in and of itself a copyright infringement.
