There is one person on this campus you don't tell...

..."I have uploaded and am distributing copyright infringing material."
That's me. Because I'm the end of the line. You know how you see a toilet overflowing and you think "Someone will take care of it?" or you tell the secretary, and you assume she'll tell someone, and someone will tell someone else, and eventually someone will take care of it? Well, this is my overflowing toilet of infringing copyrighted material.
So when you say "What if I put it over here, where no one will notice?" Well, that's something I don't want to hear. And if you think you've figured out some clever trick to get away with it, I don't want to know. Because, when there's a deposition, I'm the one who's going to have to answer the questions and those questions are:
- Did you know?
- Did you do anything about it?
And if I answer "yes" to the first one, I better sure as hell answer "yes" to the second one. Because if I don't, I'm fired and I become personally responsible for copyright infringement.
So when I tell you that what you did was "gross copyright infringement", you'd better be scared, because I'm scared (they're always scared).
And when my boss walked up to my desk today and said "What if we---", yes, I'm going to put up my hand and stop you right there and say "We can't have this conversation" because I don't want to have to record everything you say next.
And that was the highlight of my day. Maybe later I'll tell you about the low point.
