If a distributor illegally distributes the copyrighted work to users, and does not track who those users are, it is possible they would never become aware of their extra permissions. Since these extra permissions are the main reason for the copyright holder distributing his work in this manner, he suffers irreparable and immediate harm. The alleged violator is free to argue that the other party will not prevail in his case, or that he is keeping records, etc., and so not be subject to preliminary injunction. The amicus brief states the general case, as is appropriate. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
