Re: Copyright email...
ha, my friend got his internet shut off in the dorms down here at u of illinois for uploading spiderman 2 on the network all night... needless to say with a t3 and no bandwidth cap he was able to upload the movie to about 50 people overnight. at least one of those people he sent it to was columbia pictures because that's who contacted our dorm network guru. luckily, all he had to do was tell this guy he was sorry and that he wouldnt do it again. |

1 edit | I doubt that the actual band will go and sue a person cause that is just suicide for them. I mean i know the band wants their money but to have it said that they are suing FANS for listening to their music (i know its "stealing") would just be bad publicity. Most likely it would be the RIAA specifically suing the person - that is, if the case ever went to court. No case has (as far as I know, correct me if im wrong) gone to court and had a ruling. All have been either dropped or thrown out. Although, didnt good charlotte try suing a fan and get some serious back lash for that?
I assume something like a DMCA warning stays on your record for ever. I got one of those from ATT (before it was comcast) cause I was hosting movies on mIRC for DCC download. Obviously I stopped immediately and ever since been much more careful. That was over 5 years ago.
