RIAA: It starts...

[Null]

this is true, However then that fuzzy line starts to come in to play again.

do they wait for you to download the full thing? or nab your name when you start the DL? otherwise you could listen before you finish downloading and decide.

Then they've basically given you a defence to use. one could say they didnt download a copyrighted song. they downloaded a file that plays a section and stops. kinda like a demo. never downloaded the real thing from them.

there is so many ifs and buts. will be interesting if some of these goto court.
