It does. If you place it in a file without knowing it is capable of being shared, I think the RIAA would have a hard time showing that you KNOWINGLY made it available, although under some circumstances you can infringe a copyright even without intent or knowledge.

But if you put it in the directory knowing it was downloadable, the law assumes you intend the natural and probable consequences of your actions.
