Re:Reckon it in terms of upstream bandwidth (Score 1)

Not sure if someone brought this up yet (and I'm Canadian, so my US law knowledge is sketchy at best). How do these lawsuits even work in the first place? When you share a file in a P2P application such as Limewire, while you are sharing the file, if someone attempts to transfer the file from you, does it not only send parts of the file if others are sharing it as well? Ie/ You have 5 sources available for the file, so the file is split in 5 parts, each part being sent from a source. The file is only working and complete if you have 5/5 parts. If you don't receive all 5 parts, then you basically have a useless file that doesn't contain anything of substance. How can you be sued for distributing only seemingly random parts of a file?
