This gives me the urge to steal music.

Makes wanna' puke...I read a legal analysis and the RIAA will probably settle at the appeal for 1/10th of the charge so they have the intimidation factor and less negative publicity.

Some lady not too far from me is having to pay $200,000+ for sharing 24 songs :-/

This made me think: Is downloading really illegal? Are you personally violating copyright law?

matious · 10-05-2007, 06:19 PM

^yes...If an artist has it recorded and the song is property of a label or of the artist its violating copyright law, but its not as bad as sharing it.

It's the same as any other media, movies, games, etc. Just that its insanely easy these days to download.
