Okay.  So what if serveral groups of computers, in public FTP directories,
allowed anonymous ftp uploads of "parts" of a file that would be construde
as bad content.  The only way to assemble the file is to download several
parts of it from serveral diffrent servers and assemble the file on your
system.  Thus the illegal file isn't illegal until its assembled.  Sorta
like switchblade knives.  Lots of places can sell the parts legally, they
just can't sell the assembled product.  Would the servers that contain
"parts" of the file be responsible for the content?
