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?

so...hmm, i did download a couple of those "fake" music files...all i heard was warped music and other trash...but it was a while ago (couple months at least)...

think i'm liable to getting caught? or would they not concern themselves with someone who only shared 3 mp3s over kazaa....?

oh yea, on topic...of course downloaded mp3s you didnt pay for have and always will be illegal...(unless permission was granted by the copyright holder), and it will only be a matter of time before all those programs such as limewire and kazaa and whatever that's out there get shut down SOME way or another (there may be legal back-up behind em [i.e: xerox could be used as an analogy to a file-sharing program], but...look what happened to napster). and now they released a law which...oh yea, miradi already said it:

QUOTE
The Supreme Court recently ruled that developers of filesharing programs can be held liable for copyright infringement, but I think that has been the only recent development in the world of filesharing.


so now that they plugged up filesharing programs which were proned to be released in the future, they just gotta take down what's present. (limewire, winmx, kazaa, etc.)
