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?

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.
