IANAL and all that.. but anyhow.. :) All the relevant text (17 USC 506 and others) are *quite* specific in their use of copies actually produced or distributed as the relevant criterion. As such, a good lawyer can probably argue that your apparently firewalled user didn't actually *succeed* in making or distributing any copies, and as such doesn't have any legal liability. I'll let somebody else be the test case, however... ;) http://www.auditservices.fsu.edu/services/copyright/infringement.html has all the relevant 17 USC and 18 USC text...
