Correct. Let's get out of the analogy with pbook and back to ebooks and media files in general. According to my proposal (see post #276), if I don't trust you, I should not give you a copy of my media files.
If I trust you and you upload my media all the same, two cases are possible (after the police sends to me an email asking for the data of the person(s) I think might have uploaded my files, in this example you):
1) you admit to having uploaded the media and so you get to pay your part of the the fine while I am discharged of any responsibility;
2) you admit nothing (and so probably get out of it for free) while I get to pay my part of the fine. However, in my view I
deserve the fine, for having given my files to an unreliable person liable to commit unauthorized media distribution. Next time, no books for you (if I ever talk to you again!).
