Most likely, yes, and no one said otherwise.
*Bzzzzt*. You said "Each time someone downloads the page there is
a
new infringement". That means that something done by the person
who
acquires the material causes the infringement.
Each time we serve up copyrighted material is a new infringement.
It's
not
hard to understand. Anthony happens to be correct here.
Ah, so an action by the person receiving the material *does* cause an infringement! Anthony said it didn't.
It does not. Them recieving it is not the action that causes the infringement, but rather us giving it to them that does.
Ah, but "we" don't give it to "them"; "they" take it. It's "their" action, not "ours".
Considering how the HTTP protocol works, by making the page publicly available, we are publishing it, and every time a user requests the page, we are publishing it for them. I don't have too much of an opinion on BJAODN; just pointing this out.
