Re: monitoring what you do...

I've just re read the take down notice that was sent from the 'well known US entertainment co.' - The letter does talk a lot about legal stuff but their legal basis is probably up for debate. I think on this occasion, my friend can only be guilty of breaching his ISPs Acceptable Use Policy.
My current question now is more about how they operate.
Say I have a mpeg file named 'the day after tomorrow' and it's a home video of, lets say the morning after a large birthday party. I share that file out. Are they going to come after me?
Are they likely to even look at the contents of the file? I think not - they wouldn't have the time for it. So you're guilty until you can prove otherwise - and for american justice thats the norm.
