Here's the analogy you guys should be using:
--
A guy walks into a video store and rents a video from the store. Great. The police are not going to come running after the guy renting the video, they'll come after the video store, no?
A guy signs up to my site for access. The Feds won't go chasing after this guy. They'll go chasing after me for supplying the content.
--
Now, both the video store and I will refer the authorities to the content producers. Meanwhile, will the authorities simply let me go about my normal every day business?
For some reason, I'm thinking no...
