            @oluseyi The trick is that they can play a Safe Harbor-style game where whenever they are notified of counterfeits they remove them, but they don't go out of their way to find them. YouTube does the same with uploaded music. @johngordon

                @jws The YouTube comparison is excellent. The wealth Google built on selling stolen goods was a powerful legal and cultural precedent. // @oluseyi
