Re: I'm lost
I think this whole copyright infringement is BS! Unless, they are making money of the songs or are making them aviable 24\7 who gives a s@#t. I'll admit I have used and distributed cracked software and so have many people in these forums. If I was not able to get it for free I would have just never have used it. So the BS about them losing money to me does not hold water either. Yes, I'm a pirate so kiss my white naked @ss! |

Did the court rule that a portion of an MP3 is infringing? Meaning, if a person is seeding only 3% of an infringing MP3, are they really distributing the song? Title 17 talks about distribution of songs, but no mention of portions of songs. |

said by Dogfather  :How does the RIAA know if the file is actually theirs unless they downloaded it and checked? If they download it, the crime occurs (unless the RIAA can't infringe on their own work). Someone mentioned a few months ago an example of an MP3 called something like In the air tonight. How would the RIAA know if that's the Phil Collins song or something else? I agree. The RIAA should be working less on trying to convince the courts that just making a file available is infringement. Its a slam dunk case if they just go after the people responsible.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how to do it either. Nothing is anonymous on the internet. Just connect to a torrent containing an album of music. Download the album to ensure its copyrighted material. Then just watch the peers list, record IP addresses, go after those people responsible.
That alone will keep the RIAA busy for quite some time. |
