The next thing you know, you get a next day air package from UPS with a nasty gram; say hello to RIAA's crack law team! They'll provide some proof of your actions then tell you to call within X amount of days or they'll file a federal civil suit against you for up to 100k per infringing item..... Have fun with that. It's much easier for them to prove damages in a civil suit too. Unlike criminal you're not innocent until proven guilty. You're guilty until you prove otherwise. This makes baby jesus weep.

Very insightful. A lot of us that think that we are covering our asses are really just gratifying ourselves without paying a whole lot of attention to the details necessary to truly do it. Hey if the so called "spam king" got caught are we really fooling anyone.
Another note I am not trying to hijack this thread but it would be very great if we could get a running list of companies that dont mind user generated content using their copyrighted materials.
check it out here.
not much yet and I dont even know if there are anymore other than the only one that is currently on the list.
