As I said, if the infringement of copyright is the act of
"purchase",

Infringement is the act of "copying", "distribution", or "public performance/display".
All of which look to me like that which is done by the infringer,
not
by the person who acquires the infringed material.
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 :)
