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.

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.

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