Re: Way to go Judge!

I'm not saying there isn't intent to share when one makes available. However, intent is NOT breaking the law. I might intend to jaywalk when the light turns green, telling buddies lets run across the street. Lets see if we can make it. That's not illegal. The same goes for someone making an item available. Should stores and drug companies be sued because they make ephedrine available in cough medicines? People use it to make meth. That's not it's intended purposes but hey, that's what happens with it. Just because people make an item available, knowing someone might download, doesn't mean people have. It would be like assuming all cough medicine purchasers are going to make drugs versus curing a cold. It's a possibility, but you can't prove it one way or another unless you see it happening.

... You mean the act of making available without actually sharing and then slapping people with 3000 dollar pay or be sued letters?......
The act of making available???? come on!!!! Why they are making available to begin with? I'm not for copyright violations but I despite the way RIAA has handled this issue and they should be punished as deserved.

We are all responsible for our actions. Music is an art. And the artist that bring that enjoyment to our life should be compensated, or if you prefer to be a leach then you can listen to the radio for your fee enjoyment. But if you want the art for your enjoyment at anytime, it seems fair to compensate the artist. Overprice? maybe in the CD era... but know you can buy singles online... and if you have a problem with their pricing and business model you can always
