She had her hard drive replaced; the RIAA didn't need a hard drive to convict her ***.

she was pretty stupid, she used the same name all over the internet and then tried to say that it wasn't her kazza account.

The jury was probably pissed that she just flat out lied and hung her for it.

I never understood which part is illegal, downloading the music, or by letting people upload what you downloaded;sharing? Or is both parts?

I heard that most of the time, people get sued for letting others upload music from them.

I wish I had a decent ripping software so I can make legal copies of CD's I own the original of. All of the ones I have seen are out of my "willingness to pay" range.

You can't pay $30 for a useful program?

Who pays for ripping software? I use CDEX to back up my CD collection... it's free.

Downloading & Uploading copyrighted music are both illegal.

Uploading it is the easiest way to get caught...

Just a FYI....(maybe I am paranoid) but your ip is posted on this forum for everyone to see (on one of the member stat pages) so I wouldn't share that you upload or download.

Just to be safe *shrug*

I use bearshare which is perfectly legal.......some song you have to pay for after 20 days, but there are programs available that will strip the copyrights off of the files........i haven't stripped any copyrights yet, but my friend has the software and has stripped the copyrights off of 50+ albums in the past 2 weeks......

well isnt that neat how its now illigeal isnt it.

it still does not give you permission to take someones creations for free.
