Welp, too bad they may have made themselves liable for inducement just by the first sentence of the introductory text:
"one who distributes a device with the object of promoting its use to infringe copyright, as shown by clear expression or other affirmative steps taken to foster infringement, is liable for the resulting acts of infringement by third parties." (MGM Studios, Inc. v. Grokster Ltd)
vs
"The HearSay P2P File Sharer; a response to The Copyright Alert System, as well as several other internet regulation attempts. "
If you don't think this is enough, you haven't seen recent rulings on inducement.
