Check it out @ http://story.news.yahoo.c...ding_music Greetz, Theo. Well, that's right. When was the last time you thought about copyright laws while downloading? | |

Downloaders have always been lawless... it's just that now someone is doing something about it. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Surely there has to be a time when even the people who are aginst downloading must feel the need...
What would you do though - Your computer crashes and youve lost all of your NPGMC Year 1 files without being able to burn them to cd. You could get them from somehwere like Kazaa...but that would be illegal. Would you do it even though you wouldnt be "thinking of copyright laws whilst downloading"? | |

If downloading is so bad... then why do labels like Sony also sell NET MDs??? How bizarre! One minute...ppl who DL are bad, the next u got companies selling us equipment to encourage us... strange! America...get ur act together either its legal or it isnt. Go after Sony and their NET MDs for starters! The Tao te Ching gives advice to rulers:

Label's like Sony make such devices because there is a demand for such devices. Sure there' a confilct of interests, but ultimately if you choose to illegally download music to put on your Net MD, that's your choice not Sony's.

I'm able to find most of the tracks, but I can't find any Ahdio shows. I don't see a problem with downloading something you payed for that can't be replaced by other means. | |

"In a letter to RIAA President Cary Sherman, Coleman criticized the group for issuing subpoenas to "unsuspecting grandparents whose grandchildren have used their personal computers" and others who may not know their computer is being used to download music.
He asked the RIAA to furnish him with a list of its subpoenas; its safeguards against invading privacy and making erroneous subpoenas; its standards for issuing subpoenas; and a description of how it collects evidence of illegal file sharing. The RIAA said it would be "pleased" to provide Coleman the information he requested. "It will confirm that our actions are entirely consistent with the law as enacted by the U.S. Congress and interpreted by the courts," the RIAA said in a statement." We will see what the courts have to say about that. -- [This message was edited Wed Aug 6 8:36:18 PDT 2003 by Abrazo] You are not my "friend" because you threaten my security. | |
