LOL, w/o going to the ISP it is imposable to find out who they are sewing. Unless they like hack in to your computer and try to find your persoanl infomation but if they did that the case whould be dismisted b/c they illgeal stuff to get the evidenc. |

| I was at warped tour and one band I was watchin play was like "Hey, we're *whoever*, if you like our stuff go buy our new album, If you cant afford to buy it then download it." The bands I listen to support music downloading. |

| Ideally, everyone would buy your music. Right below that is that everyone appretiates your music. |

The thing is though, filesharing doesn't really hurt the big name bands. They still make huge amounts of money, and throw sold-out concerts constantly.
It's the emerging talent that gets hurt by this. Heard of The Arcade Fire? A brilliant new band, whose sales are definately going to be hurt significantly by piracy. |

Well i think that it whould aslo help them as much as it hurts them in other ways. For example there musick will reach more poleop then it could noramly and if it is good then poleop whould whont to go to there conserents and get there cds. Realy it whould hurt the crapy small bands the most  but the good small ones it aucatly can help and there are many exmaples of small bands that got know thorw the sharing of muscik. Tho in thos cased most of the bands put the muisck on there own site all ready 
I say infomation should be free as soon as you put it public aviable in the world and that is what the net should be the colection of all of humnaitys infomation, thougths and ideas freely ablivable to any one.... |

dont be foolish , if you use kazaa and doenload fro man americn source , you can legally be sued whe nyou step over the border ..... If you read through the permissions of htis law then you see all the nasty loopholes
" Downloading will be firmed as legal but Uploading and Hosting is still seen as Illegal "
so in this trick , we see that downloading is leagal but uploading is not , so if they charge and catch all hosts and uploaders , then there is nothing to download
See isnt that a neat trick of theirs.
also it states " downloads must be from a canadian source , all others are infriging on international federal policies "
dont be so narrow minded with your comments
its not a WHooo HOOO situation , there is much more fine print than
: its legal to download music " |
