The music police are starting to go after people, what does everyone think?

I don't worry about it much.
I download it, burn it and delete it.
I don't share anything.
their going after the people sharing tons of songs. I don't think little guys like me have anything to worry about.
If they come knocking on my door I'll know I was thinking wrong and pay the bill....

Isn't downloading "sharing" ?

 

[Snowbi-Wan]

I still download. I just block my "Shared Folder". I'll find the other thread about this for you. There was a lot of good info in it.

yes, I guess it is.

The article I read said they were doing searches for songs and busting the people whos name kept coming up over and over.
If I delete everything and don't share it then my name should never pop up.

I hear ya nocode, but once you download, they have your user name and the info on the internet provider that you use. They threaten to sue to provider to provide them info of the people connected with the IP address of the "username", and of course, the provider does. Then it's open season on whomever they want to go after.

as NoCode does, i DL, burn, then delete... not worried about too much (knock on wood)

 

[Shorgasm]
