Say Sarah's evil twin, Sauramon, took some music that
he had no rights to, something sufficiently evil
like "Menudo", and put a CC-ShareMusic license on it.
Sarah downloads the music. The Menudo Gestapo happens
to be monitoring the site from where Sarah downloaded
it. The MG sues Sarah's mom.
I still don't understand how any claim made by
Sauramon in his falsely labeled license will
protect Sarah and her mom from the Evil Menudo Gestapo.
can someone explain?
