Then she would have to prove damages. Given that the demos were distributed for free and credit is given to Stevie and most notably, Stevie handed out most of these demos for free, most courts would not find that to be illegal. However, anyone making profit off of her demos or distributing songs she makes money off of (released songs) would be illegal.

Thanks John! So my point remains though! So technically she could sue. I see no diff between having a demo thread or for me posting a link to her new album. Because at the end of the day it is up to the individual whether to dl or not.
