Simplicity would apply: was copyrighted material acquired or redistributed illegally? If yes, a crime was committed.

I don't agree with that law, and I also suggest others ignore it because there are no real repercussions for breaking it. I'm merely suggesting that we probably don't want to turn the forums into a hotbed for torrenting the client, but apparently the owners of P99 are less concerned about that than I am.
How do you legally prove 1000s of people here have an illegal copy? Case by case?

Daybreak wouldn't need to prove that if they wanted to shut down P99.
