I don't see how you could really be angered by this, since it's your own use of the software that would cause these kinds of things to happen, and we can't get mad at RIAA for using the same software more intelligently.

![]() Owning a CD does not give you the right to download copies of the songs on that CD. You can rip your own copies. The fact that you did not have ripping software does not change the law for you. And you had no problem downloading an entire CD full of songs, but found it to be too much trouble to go download free ripping software? It wasn't exactly hard to find, even back in the stone age before Google.This argument lacks any substance.

encrypting your connection doesn't do anything because they don't monitor your data. instead they are just seeing what you have open to the public. if emule works by sharing just like limewire does then you still have the same issue. Quote:
you don't own the songs you own the right to listen to the songs. you do not have a right to distribute them. that is what they are catching people on is distribution of music.

Exactly. For colleges, I'm sure its in one of their handbooks/agreements you get when you become a student at that particular college, that you will not use their network for any illegal activities.

In my opinion, the illegal part shouldn't be offering them up, it should be downloading them. If I leave a diamond ring sitting in my yard 1 foot away from the sidewalk, that isn't illegal, but someone else taking it out of my yard IS illegal.

RIAA scans limewire for infringing songs, downloads if they can't verify hash(lol pirating their own stuff) and sends letters to colleges.

I'll also point out that no one's opinion of what "should" be legal or not is irrelevant. It simply is illegal under current law. If you don't like the law, go into politics and try to get it changed, I guess.

Oh, this thread makes me want to jump up and down &/or cry
I'm not going to name names, but big Boo Hiss to quite a few posters How can a site of "Technically aware" if not "elite" computer folk, spout Sooo much drivel and absolute claptrap! Especially regarding something this close to our "Realm of Expertise"! I'm literally, just gobsmacked at the banality of some comments. ![]() ![]() - and to rep somebody for "Being one of the few people to really understand the US law" when that post is so preposterously inaccurate as to be absurd! that's an even worse sign of a hackneyed and ill-prepared thought process. If You're going to go on a lengthy tirade or exposition regarding a subject, at least take the time, and give us the courtesy of knowing what you are talking about first!. (Hint: exposition kinda implies teaching from a position of knowledge) Especially funny (sad) are the comments that start with: too long; Didn't read or, "I was too lazy to actually bother reading the article" - "But, here's what I think anyways....." and then contained some of the shallowest and most trite "rationalizations" ever to masquerade as "facts" "No, Sir, I don't Like It" For those that have provided sane and Salient points; R+ has been appropriately dispensed. VulcanD; Wish I could Sir! How about a few + +![]() Cheers to ALL ![]() (Sorry was that too long of a post? ) For the AHDD- A Synopsis- Please try to actually read something before you reply to it! (And having a modicum of understanding, helps too! KTHXS)!!!111!1!
