That is not fair. :(
That's an intriguing arcticle to say the least. I wonder how it will all turn out?
This is sort of off the subject, but did anyone else notice that 'legal experts' usually say things that any 8th grader could figure out? The guy gets paid money to study internet law, and all he can say is that this will set a precedent for the recording industry to target individual file traders. If it's that easy to be an expert at something, consider me God :D.
Yeah I heard about this action in another forum...its kinda stinky and its not really a very good way to go about getting this fixed, but if the RIAA does get this victory, I hope they enjoy it, cause they will find there names showing up in a lot of open court cases.
This is good and bad. I think its unfair people steal so much in terms of audio and take it for granted because its not really something tangible but at the same time this is a major intrusion on public policy!
I think mp3's aren't so bad. Especially if you consider their sound quality, most people are willing to buy a CD, plus to physically have the CD.Quote:

I know when I download, I just download a couple tracks when someone suggests that I check a group/lyricist out. If I like it, most always I'll end up buying the actual CD eventually. I'd say a good fraction of the songs I have on my computer I had on CD before, too.
So while I can understand that it's 'stealing' in a sense, it's not really. I doubt it cuts into their sales much at all. If anything, it's promotion.
theres a simple answer to this....
everyone.. and I mean everyone.. thats on this planet and does peer to peer it is their duty to turn themselves in and demand to be arrested and demand it be taken to court.
lets see how the jails and the court system like having a few million people demanding to be arrested, and a court date set for their sins.
Just goes to show that P2P (Pirate 2 Pirate omglol ;) ) users are morons.
I'm actually rooting for the destruction of every single P2P network out there.
It can only increase the quality of the music available on the internet.
Hows it going to increase the quality of music?:confused: Are there going to be some better artists on the web if they stop P2P?Quote:

I didn't mean the musical quality.
But the sound quality, if you will, of the music that is on the internet.
The fact is that, that most of the stuff on p2p networks are of an abysmal quality.
How do you know?Quote:

If you have, you'd know what I'm talking about. :)
had a tech over to the house from the cable company. was talking with him about this and that got on to the subject of P2P... he told me that they have programs that monitor their system looking for servers set up. He wouldnt tell me much about it.. but apparently a great deal of pressure is being put on ISP's to stop p2p.. Whats really strange is Im in a tiny little down in southern Missouri.. wouldnt think it would matter here.. but guess it does.
So you have used P2P? Now, why are P2P users morons?Quote:
