Maybe its me being naive, infact it is me being naive but i always thought that due to the terms of service an ISP wouldn't have to give out its users identity over something like that.
This is such a shame, makes me more pissed at the RIAA, granted alot of the files traded are illegal but just because its an mp3 doesn't make it illegal. This is RIAA's attempt at scaring off illegal file traders by prosecuting a couple of "heavy users". It wont happen, they wont stop file trading.
For good reason too, we get absolutely ripped off by record labels, and the junk that half of them produce we could do without anyways. If illegal file trading caused all these labels to go out of business (which it wont ever) it wouldn't spell the end of music, it would make music better, because we wouldn't be buying what they are producing. We would be buying what we want (and at a reasonable price too).
yea and what about mp 3's i have on my computer that belong to me? if an isp sees mp3's do i go to jail with the "heavy downloaders"? |
