US law essentially makes it illegal to provide information or tools for the purpose of copyright infringement. In our specific case, the purpose of slimserver in it's current form can hardly be argued to be copyright infringement, and so I don't think there's an issue there. Of course if someone decided to run an instance wide open to the world and people started downloading from it, well there's clear infringement there. But they're basically just using slimserver as a webserver, and no one has (yet!) considered sueing Microsoft or Apache for aiding copyright infringement by supplying webservers. -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25383 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
