Thin ice, careful where you step! lol Here's some articles to scare the pants off a few people. Sorry nudity not allowed here. 1. Article 1 & Canada, etc. , & (2) RIAA takes aim, or is that a six shooter aiming at the RIAA , & (3) RIAA AH Pres , & lastly for now: (4) More RIAA legal stuff

No comment. Except for the exagerations & taking points out of context. But they have to make it sound good.

getting a file from another and downloading
 

Hello there I was wondering is not getting a shared file from a friend or like minded people not the same as downloading the file? otherwise how does the info get from one computer to the other? I'm a bit confussed on this.

emma900 your answer is in the previous posts in the thread. Must someone repeat them again.

freakyg. I'm no lawyer, but somewhere there is a difference:- lol ... but It's fair to say that copying a friends cd is, I believe illegal. To make one copy of your own CD or of legally downloaded files, for your own use in a CD player or for safe keeping is I think legal. Downloading a copyrighted song via p2p IS illegal It is however legal to share a song bought off iTunes with 4 or 5 other people, whose computers must be known to Apple. It is not legal to upload these tunes to 4 or 5 unknown computers via p2p.

Thank you Hobo this helps plenty and if I done repeated another question sorry for that.

sorry i was just confused

It's not illegal to have BUT it is illegal to download stuff.

It's only illegal to download copyright material, and even then it depends on which country you live in

legal
 

lw is not illegal just downloading copyright material is. 99.9% of all material is illegal to download.

How do you know that ???

There is a lot of legal stuff too

30% of my stuff is legal everywhere and the rest is legal here
