What you say is partially correct, but I wonder if you are misled by a little tidbit not mentioned in the original post... The MPAA is not only going after the ISP's of the posters of copyrighted movies, but they are also going after the ISP's of downloaders of copyrighted material. This happened to my roommate recently. Now I'm not my roommate's keeper so I didn't check to see if the folder he downloaded the file into was saved in a shared folder; however the nasty-gram we received specifically mentioned *downloading* the file, not hosting it.
