Rumor has it that John R. Hogerhuis may have mentioned these words:

Legally, yes, I think it would be on Michael's shoulders; however, I think 
morally it would be up to *all of us* to report it any infringement 
activity to Michael and/or Lonnie (and any vehicle of infringement -- e.g. 
ePay.).

If you want to see good examples of a community self-policing themselves, 
look at the Ham Radio community and the TiVo hacking community.

I really think it can be done effectively, but we'll all have to be vigilant.
