I am not a lawyer, but it's my understanding that in the U.S.
you can still be liable for civil damages for unintentional copyright infringement. That strikes me as really problematic. For instance, it seems to mean that if I post several poems in my blog from the same author without copyright permission and beyond fair-use, and you innocently go to my blog not knowing that I've done this bad thing, you may be liable for copyright infringement, just because you downloaded the page to your computer's memory. Or am I missing something?
