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.

Warning: Don't read this if you have a weak heart. Or a weak brain.

first of all ... learn to ****** type in ENGLISH. i didn't get a ****** word u just said. second of all, limewire only becomes illegal if people start to abuse it. If u download about 200 songs a day, and u got like 15,000 in ur library. chances are, the feds are gonna crack down. but if u only have like 200 in ur library and ur not a "chronic" downloader, chances are, they wont even find u in the first place.

It all comes down to whether ur I.P. address is constantly being exposed or not. If its the middle of the night and ur comp is still downloading, ur I.P. is gonna be exposed while everyone else's isn't. thats the only thing u should watch out for. To have ur computer off at night so that ur IP address doesn't get tracked.

anywho, limewire isn't illegal as long as u dont abuse and not get caught. ;P

Besides that, you seem not to know what you're talking about......
Already the download of a single file protected by copyright laws is illigal.
The question whether you will be caught or not (by keeping your pc running over night or in the day), is something no-one can predict under any circumstances. Whether to take a risk or not is up to every person's own decision.

So, why don't you calm down a bit and when you try to give your opinion or to help someone use the languae your mother has taught to you.

Question 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.
