So how does that work?
"Last year, a Canadian judge came to a similar conclusion, ruling it legal to download--but not to upload--copyrighted content from peer-to-peer services."

So if it's legal to download copyrighted material but illegal to upload it, how does the material get into the P2P system to begin with? Doesn't that mean someone, somewhere, infringed? Will copyright holders have the ability to pursue those uploading copyrighted material?
