Oh... You thought I supported it? That would be different. I just gave the reason they give such hefty fines.

I'm sorry, this just gets me heated up. Only 1 or 2 out of thousands are caught doing it. Literally everyone in America does it. To single out 1 or 2 out and destroy their lives in order to "set an example" is just wrong. It just points towards THE GOVERNMENTS inability to enforce the laws it sets out.

I'd rather they just do their job, and fine everyone in America who file shares a few hundred dollars.

But there's NO WAY IN HELL this women actually cost the recording industry 220,000 dollars. It's damaging TO SOCIETY IN ITSELF for this lawsuit to ever have taken place.

Fuck the RIAA but this bitch was pretty dumb.

1. using kazaa
2. not spoofing her mac address
3. using the same user name on kazaa that she uses on all her other sites that she visits.


GG dummy.

Ok Waterboy.... lets review...

She stated she didn't know what file sharing was. She then asked...

"LOl Yeah. But what is file sharing? Would it be as if, I knew how to upload my itunes library to a website, and offered it to others for free? And then they did the same?"


So please Waterboy, tell me how that is not filesharing. To upload her files, create a website and offer the files for free to other users and provide them the ability to share their files as well.... hmmmmmm.... yeah, that probably isn't filesharing... thanks for setting me straight.

No, it isn't. You can always tell whenever people have no idea what they're talking about whenever they describe filesharing as a "website".

There are websites dedicated to this Watermark. You are now being ignorant, yourself.

There are fora, even using this same software, that offer people a place where they share links they "found" on the internet so you can download albums.

If she offered her iTunes library to anybody who wished it on the internet, it would definitely make her a target for this whether or not it was a 'website'.

I didn't describe fileshareing AS a website. She said that she would create a website that allowed filesharing. Ever heard of Napster dumbass?

There's bittorrent. But that's not a "website" either. The entire concept of Peer-to-peer sharing is a completely different organization of net infrastructure from the host style websites. Obviously, if someone setup a website and allowed people to upload songs onto there, that website wouldn't be up long. But peer-to-peer sharing is different.

A website COULDN'T "allow" filesharing, because that's not how a website works.

There are some sites on the net, like megaupload, that you can upload stuff too, and other people can come there and download it. But everythings hidden and it's nothing at all like napster.

I can personally give you a link to a website, in PM, it would not be shared here. You are wrong that filesharing isn't done from websites. 100% wrong.

Everything is not "hidden".

Okay, here is how such a website works.

You upload something to one of those places. You take the link and put it on a messageboard saying you "found" it on the internet. They download your music. They rip a CD, upload it to one of those places and provide you a link...

So forth.

You can also, simply allow people to ftp from a site. People who would do that would be foolish.

A website could definitely "allow" filesharing. You could easily set it up to allow people to upload and share their music.

Hey Tiana, where have you been? Busy working?

I don't even know what they mean by file-sharing, seriously. I was going to ask Water, but then I thought, everyone probably knows what it is and I'll look really dumb. I have an itunes account, and I buy all of my songs there.

Busy isn't even the word. I've been doing two jobs navigating between two campuses!

Peer-to-peer filesharing is never done from websites, Damo.

Sharing isn't always "peer-to-peer". You are being deliberately misleading.

There are websites dedicated to sharing files. Pretending that they don't exist because they aren't doing it "peer-to-peer" is pretense only.

Who cares? I asked if it would be "like" that. You're being ridiculous.
