... to quote the judge :

"The mere fact of placing a copy on a shared directory in a computer
where that copy can be accessed via a P2P service does not amount to
distribution," Judge Konrad von Finckenstein wrote.
"Before it constitutes distribution, there must be a positive act by
the owner of the shared directory, such as sending out the copies or
advertising that they are available for copying."

On another note, apparently that blockquote is illegal in xhtml-transitional. I have no idea why.
