Indeed a good example. We've seen several examples of code snippets where this happens too, mentioned on HN.
But it does not prove that they infringed copyright by ingesting "illegal" stuff, as GP tried to argue. Seeing a verbatim string only "proves" that it came from a specific source. But not if this source was illegally acquired, which was my point.
