Love how they go against what's on their own site.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif Someone needs to stop these people.

yup, they are changing their rules based on the case they are currently involved in. Someone definitely need to put a stop to that shit, but its not going to happen until they go after the wrong person.

Im confident they will attack the wrong person, hopefully itll happen sooner, rather than later

I dont do any of the downloading anymore, after my wife and I got married we have more movies/music between the two of us than we know what to do with

when I go through her cd folder, its like being @ a free sam goody

sure, I can see where the illegal sharing can be pursued for lawsuits, but if they gain the right to sue people for ripping there own cds to the harddrive, then this shit is completely out of control

Shit, this guy might be the wrong one, depending, I feel that this will be the deciding case. After this one something will happen.

This is moronic thinking at its finest. 1st sell us a copy of the music. 2nd dictate what we can and cannot do with it. 3rd desperatly trying to hold onto a nitch that they have enjoyed for far too long is plain PATHETIC!....................................................Technology is evolving, that is making some things to become obsolete. Newspapers, Music,Movies. We no longer need to leave our homes to obtain any of these. Arcades used to be the rage, now we all have a game system in our home. Did the manufacturers of arcade games try to sue everyone under the sun? NO, they realized it is a sign of the times. This nonsense will come to an end, the only one affected is the music industry. Learn to evolve or be left behind!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

thats two counts of stealing. See you transfer it from your cd to your harddrive (1) then to your ipod (2).

so you'd get double for that.

No surprise here.

This is the same argument the MPAA presented several years ago after the passage of the DMCA. Although nobody seemed to notice...

eventually they will do away with cds and make us go back to vinyal

God ****, I hope so. Then maybe people will have an appreciation to how horrible their Ipods sound //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I like my Ipod. I've currently got about 400 cds I'm ripping all in lossless format.

I haven't actually noticed a lot of difference in mine, but my ears aren't the best anymore.

I agree though, as I do love the old school and they seem to sound the best.

If you think people wreck changing songs on the ipod, I'd hate to see what happens if they tried to change a phono.

If they try to elimate music from cars...it would crush the industry. I listen to 100% of my music in a car. If I can't listen to it there, music will be about as useful to me as nail polish.

Someone needs to hire some thugs to ruff up the heads of the RIAA... IMO...

Horrible...

These guys were probably the kids picked on when they were young...

Edit: O snap! Bad reporting FTL, got this comment from another site with the article...

Ok all you knee-jerk responders...here is what the ACTUAL brief says (which is NOT what the accompanying article says):
Page 15, Line 16-20

"Once Defendant converted Plaintiffs’ recording into the compressed .mp3 format AND THEY ARE IN HIS SHARED FOLDER, they are no longer the authorized copies distributed by Plaintiffs. Moreover, Defendant had no authorization to distribute Plaintiffs’ copyrighted recordings from his KaZaA shared folder."

The courts have already determined in previous cases that putting copyrighted material into a shared Kazaa folder constitutes illegal distribution.

This is the type of really poor reporting that passes for jounalism these days. Stories get passed around and picked up like virii, with nobody ever going back and checking the original source.

Bad reporting on purpose?
