So if someone participates in say P2P sharing of a CP video with some background copyrighted music, she can be simultaneously guilty of:
1. Suborning the creation of the CP by participating in the demand side.
2. Undermining the creation of music by distributing it for free.
Something inside me says there is something wrong here.
I think HN would say 2 is wrong here—people often argue that piracy actually helps sales as it promotes the media. if that is accepted, then the court would be correct in asserting 1.
