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".
