How will you know if something you're downloading is copyrighted?

Legally, you're supposed to know in advance before you copy it.

However, it does improve your defense in a copyright case if you can honestly say you DIDN'T know it was copyrighted.

But basically any creative work in the USA is copyrighted BY DEFAULT and it is up to the copyright holder (rather than the creator of the work) as to whether ANYONE can copy it and if so, under what limited conditions.

The laws are grossly unfair towards us, and becoming even MORESO... but their ability to enforce the laws is extremely limited at the moment.
