If you we're serious about suing, I guess you will include a copy of a statement in which the distributor has been sued over to prove to them that yes, the person you got this from also stole it from me. | |

If they still honestly, but mistakenly (and maybe a bit stubbornly) still believe that they obtained the software lawfully from the other site, is their infringement willful? Is there a specific burden of proof you have to bear to them (e.g. just saying "Oh hai, yr softwarez r teh infringementz, i r realz owner!!11!1one omg j00 can has my eula??") would not be good enough. | |
