" Would it not be possible just to have a successful lawsuit just on the fact of copyright infringment? (Or did I missinterpret what you were saying?) " Successful? Not sure. The plaintiff has to prove damages in some way. I think that's why the RIAA is pushing for broader coverage than afforded under existing law.

Ah, I didn't realize damages were necessary for a successful lawsuit. I would imagine that it'd be difficult to prove a direct relationship for damages (and from what I've seen so far, the opposite might be true in a limited sense).
