If the latter , then aren't the advertisers liable too ?

So these sites adverstise stuff and charge for it. I read on this board that Demonoid put up music by unsigned or independent bands and shareware etc. Can't they prove that they are in the business of facilitating access to independent artists and advertisement for whatever (as long as it is legal) and some 'rogue users' (read pirates) make wrong use of their facilities. But then they are not Sony Corp whose video recorder was exempt from such law on similar grounds. Talk about double standards. Why do Sony get away with everything? Yeah catch the small fish and we have people here who are happy at this development. You can't protect the small fish, rest assured the net would reach everybody, including the big fish. Where will all this stop?
