Hypothetically then, if a downloader could see the account names of people they were receiving the file from (who are claiming they are authorized distributors), then the downloader would not be responsible if they decided to re-share the file? Any liability would only be with someone who initially put a copyrighted work into the P2P network, since they are claiming at the time that they are authorized to distribute it?

Would that sound reasonable?
