From a legal point of view this apparently moves the copyright violation from the FreeTrack developers to end users of FreeTrack. Taking individual users to court is ridiculous.

However this discussion is also ridiculous as no-one here is, as far as I know, actually a copy-right lawyer so everyone is simply scanning the web for quotes to try and badger the opposition with.
