I agree. Don't the RIAA/MPAA have more juicy targets to go after? Its not rocket science. Even I can record IP addresses of people distributing copyrighted material if I wanted.
Who cares about them. Let's talk about us and how we can get along as a society
I see a lot of arguing that's what divides us my friend
that's what allow them easier control over our freedom
to trade digital information.
we are in control of our life
not them
never give up your rights
never give in to scare tactics
for they are just a paper tiger that can be cut with paper scissors

I thought the courts held that downloading is not necessarily infringement.
I don't think so. Can you quote any case law on that?

What the courts have held is that merely providing a download application does not constitute infringement; such an application can be used for lawful purposes, such as distributing content with the owners' permissions. Actual infringement must be proved, not just the potential for infringement.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20802530 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 20:01:25 EDT Re: He's still guilty of copyright infringment ... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20798925 Camelot One : They have. But the RIAA has been great about brainwashing people on the issue.
In the US, downloading movies does fall into a different category that COULD get you in trouble. But downloading music is still perfectly fine in the eyes of both criminal and copyright law.
