<br></div>
Someone might rip off someone else's work or otherwise infringe and upload or re-release something under their claim of ownership or a new license, then anyone else that uses that work or even promotes it, shares it with others, ends up inadvertently and ignorantly violating the original owner's rights.<br>
<br></div>All we can do is navigate the sometimes tricky world of trademark and copyright law and respect other's rights as much as we can, with the information we have, be kind to one another, in other words, be mature adults and just use our common sense.<br>
<br>Then, if one day you get a legitimate cease and desist email (which sometimes is just as unfortunate for the person that has to send out such notices in the first place as it is for you to receive them), there's no reason to be scared or get defensive, you should simply apologize, let them know that you had no idea you were violating their rights and work to quickly and amicably resolve the issue. I'd say 9/10 times, that's all there is to it.<br>
<br>Unfortunately, some people/companies might, on rare occasion, try to seek monetary damages or to censor others whether you knew you were doing anything wrong or not. That's partly what <a href="http://www.chillingeffects.org/" target="_blank">http://www.chillingeffects.org/</a> is about covering.<br>
<br></div>It's kind of a hope for the best, prepare for the worst type situation. You can hope that everyone always does the right thing, but prepare for the fact that they most inevitably won't.<br></div></div>
