Re: Hmmm

If the RIAA did that on Bittorrent, they would be breaking the law by making the infringing file available for others to download also...

They own title to said file, so it's not illegal to share. The FBI has done that to catch pirates, so I'm sure the RIAA can.

If RIAA shares the file on BitTorrent, then RIAA is in effect granting the downloaders to share the file with others because downloading requires sharing in standard BitTorrent.

Technically RIAA doesn't own the title to anything. People who they represent do. Therefore RIAA is liable just as anyone else if they download said illegal content.
