Im sure there are topics on this but, i have some new info from my dad XD so trustful eh? He said that a new law was passed, illegalizing music downloads off of sites, programs, and anything else. Itunes and relations will be only aloud ones. You can download off Limewire, except government has put up fake music for you to download, so then they have access yo your computer. When they do this they are able to get your ip then track you down easily.
So i reccomend you not use them. But i have downloaded tons of music off limewire.... it would suck if it was shut down and stuff. Is this true? You tell me because my dad told me and.... I dunno he could be trying to keep me from downloading music from limewire. But wasnt there a law trying to illegal LimewirE? But then it failed to pass? hmm..... and suggestions of thoughts? |

Funny thing is, it's illegal for anyone to try to find me as I'm downloading, since IP addresses are now considered to be protected information, just like social security numbers and the like. It's kind of funny how they're making laws simultaneously that counteract one another.
And another funny (as in: enraging) thing is that they're also implementing a tax for mediums for electronic files (such as blank CDs, MP3 players, etc) at the same time as they're making the downloading of said files illegal. So in other words, you're paying a tax for something you're not even allowed to do! Talk about having your cake and eating it too. |
