Seems to me that the "educational" notice would have to explicitly state that I illegally downloaded copyrighted material in violation of xyz law. I think that would be, in the absence of proof that it was illegal + copyrighted + downloaded by me, defamation. I can't imagine any intelligent corporate lawyer approving voluntary cooperation with such a scheme in the absence of a protective law, but then it strikes me that the lawyers that are dealing with this issue on behalf of the RIAA and the corporations aren't the leading lights of the bar.
