It IS a P2P sharing program.
If it weren't for her and people like her, you wouldn't be getting the songs you want to download.

Xcom46...nowhere in the original post does it say she was sharing these files... Isn't downloading 6,000 songs enough? I mean, at the going rate of 1 dollar a song, that's...wait a minute...I think I've got it...$6,000!

Just because she is no different than you (so you say) doesn't mean that she wasn't stupid! I bet she just feels unlucky (like you or I would feel if we got busted).

If you break the law, you may get busted! Maybe not right away, but if you do it long enough or excessively enough, you will eventually get caught!

It's a risk we take if we download copywrited material...we all need to ask ourselves "how much is this worth to me...is it worth the risk?"

Just something to think about: at my local library, I can check out commercial films for free. FILE-SHARING? Looks like it to me. I hope my library doesn't get sued!

Using the library as an example is flawed logic.

In many cases libraries DO pay more for their initial copy of a book or movie because they are going to share it. However, comparing libraries with millions sharing copyrighted material for free without compensation to the artists/producers/etc. doesn't work.

Sure. It's called BUYING your music and movies. People have been doing it for decades. Only in the last few years did we somehow decide we were entitled to something for nothing.

As someone upthread said, you (don't) pay the price, you take your chances.

I don't feel all that sorry for the woman in Dayton. She got something for free (some 6000 songs). Now if she pays even half that much (assuming .99 cents per song for even the cheapest music legally) she got off easy right?

I was not aware of this. You say "In many cases"...in what cases do libraries pay more (or pay less)? What about books, movies, etc. that are donated to libraries?

Can you tell me where I can find out more?

Thanks
