This is interesting:
First, if Hannah's family has to drain her college fund to settle a potentially ruinous infringement lawsuit, that will happen because distributors of programs like LimeWire chose to ignore the 512(d) safe harbor and to lack any means of disconnecting infringing users and responding to takedown notices. They chose, in other words, to create a conflict between users of their programs and copyright owners that the latter could not resolve through means less punitive than infringement lawsuits. As a result, suing infringing LimeWire users (like "Hannah") was the copyright-enforcement solution proposed by LimeWire LLC in Grokster.
