Lime Wire copyright fines in UK?
 

some work mates told me that some Lime wire users were fined by UK police/copyright for downloading copyright music, aparently it was in the news on friday/saturday


i have not seen anything about it on limewire ec.. anyone care to enlighten me?

Are you afraid of getting caught yourself or is it just out of curiosity?

illigal?

Re: illigal?
 

Well, if you wanna know about the legality issues of using LW, then run a search in the LW section of the forums for "legal" (the search button is located at the top right of the page)

doesnt quite answer what i was asking tho.. never mind. i guess no one here saw the News coverage of it then

Fancy having the cheek to sell the music on. I wonder what else they sell. What an idiot! It's those that then copy to cd to sell are the ones who get targeted & the idiot didn't even do it from the original cd's. Of course that's straight out copyright breach. Sorry to hear they rubbished the principle p2p in the process.
