Do the mirror owners even know that - if they charge for their
services - it could be argued that they are committing a
criminal offence under US law by redistributing copyrighted
material without a license for commercial advantage?
sorry, I phrased that badly: obviously it is the mirror owners
responsibility to understand the law.
What I'm trying to ask is "are the mirror owners aware that
they are redistributing copyrighted material without a license
because of your decisions?"
If they care. License is part of the package and package
description explicitly says "Licenses: custom". There are no
commercial mirrors as far as I know though but if anyone crazy
decided to create one, all information to check such stuff is
there.
