Which brings up another couple of questions:

       1. Some networks of this type distribute their seeds in random 
caches amongst their population.  If you don't know it's there, are you 
liable for it?

       2. For a copyright violation to occur, you need a "significant 
portion of the original work."  Does having a chunk that qualifies as 
1/30th of a copyrighted work
            qualify for copyright violation via unauthorized 
distribution?  I don't know and IANAL, but I'd say that it's questionable.
