I just did some research finally and found out that the RIAA is only sueing people who shared more than 1000 files.
I was under the impression if it was people who had a lot of music on their computer. Don't you feel a lot safer now? |

QUOTE(ComradeRed @ Sep 15 2004, 1:16 PM) No, it's technically not illegal to download... you never agreed to an EULA that said you agree not to upload. technically not illegal? do you live in canada or finland? downloading copyrighted music in AMERICA is illegal. you do realize that when you DOWNLOAD an mp3, you're essentially making a COPY of it aka REPRODUCTION. it's illegal to DUPLICATE/REPRODUCE and DISTRIBUTE copyrighted music. http://www.musicunited.org/2_thelaw.html QUOTE all the respectible ones give it out for free. pigs like metallica are in it for money. i can understand envisioning a carefree sharing world, but america's a capitalist nation. people come here to fulfill their dreams, that, believe or not, are money-based. if you want to live in a world where no one makes the profits they're entitled to, move to a communist/socialist country. |
