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. A weird distinction
in, but one generally held to be the de facto, if not de jure, standard in
us copyright issues. And I moved it down since you dont like the top posting
:)
