[lvfpbmbs] File-sharing as historical education

Create a file-sharing program labeled and marketed explicitly as an educational program, to educate and preserve the historical precedent that noncommercial copying was unregulated and de facto legal until very recently in American (and world) history.  Preserve history by reenacting what the mentality was like.

Likely devilish details in order to avoid a giant lawsuit, though maybe you don't necessarily want to avoid one: establish that education, protected by freedom of speech, trumps copyright concerns.
