Are you scared of illegally downloading music now?

First off the RIAA is not going to be able to arrest everyone. Also I think its fine to download music from limewire as I do not want to have to go out and buy a whole cd just for one song that I like. And then if you go to itunes then its just over priced. So in the end continue on downloading your music and enjoy.

If that is true enough, why try to sue all P2P companies that let people download illegal contents. Government should be wary of those companies and not the people who manages to ride with the flow.

I have never illegally downloaded anything and not going to in the future as well. I feel that it's a bit much to pay a couple of millions, but that was what she has to pay according to the news I've read and that is really sad. Hope the lady is fine now and able to pay off the fine..if I call it right as fine. Don't know what's the term..

In my opinion this ruling is absurd, downloading a few songs worth 1€ each on itunes cannot be punished so hard, probably there have been a lot of 'pressure' from riaa and co. towards the judje to do something like that. By the way i am not american so this doesn't scare me so much, the only thing happened in my country to single users was to be asked to pay a fine of 300€ from a legal firm defending some artist, fine that no one paid because they violated privacy laws to get the nominatives from the ips. anyway i don't download much music anyway, there are very good legal streaming site out there that one can use.

Im never much of a pirate and in fact I abhor it. I don't really like to see people downloading my music and selling it but sharing it for the world? Im cool with that. But I think is a high display of greed and abuse to put a woman who barely makes enough in jail. Shouldn't record companies go after big fishes instead of small fry? that is if they are really inot stopping piracy.

Noway i would do that. They are geting more and more strict with it. Now that the big providers are finding ways around the law they are going for the individuals. I dont believe in it though. I think the artist should get paid but some people have already gotten the cd and lost it, stuff like that.

The more i hear stories about states, the more i dread goin there. I beta stay down here and lay low. I get most foreign music from the net. Even software are cheap, you can get free windows xp and vista.
