I was stunned by the reply. This was over a month ago before it was headline news, but still.
Today I'm "commenting" on various news websites. You know, under the articles where users can leave comments? Pointing out that if I were to paste a copyrighted article, or a link to a piracy website, right there in their comment box, that they would be responsible and could be shut down!!

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as a public service.
