Re: LimeWire Gets Sued
The level of conversation in this topic makes me think this needs to be moved to chit chat. God DAMN, some of the people here are ****ing stupid.
The RIAA can do all it can but no matter what, they're never going to be able to stop people from sharing files. As torrents become more and more popular, and as more of the torrents become privatized (OiNK, for example), there's going to be less and less of a chance that the RIAA will be able to completely eradicate filesharing. I steal music, I do it all the time. However, I go to TONS and TONS of concerts, so that pretty much offsets it.

Re: LimeWire Gets Sued
I do think most people in here do understand the fact that it is illegal and shouldn't be done in the first place, but I think there is miscommunication through the fact of financial issues. I mean, would you like something free, or would you like to pay for it. I think it comes down to that now. Thinking of this, I recently heard on the radio of a website that is giving away Xbox 360s for free. Heh, its yours for free, after filling out offers.

Re: LimeWire Gets Sued
Sharing illegal files is illegal, as it is rare to be caught the only reason people won't do it is if they feel it is ethically wrong. There is no black and white answer. I illegally download some files and not others depending on the ethics behind it. Some song i hear on a radio that i listen to once or twice ill download. I never download movies or music that i would otherwise pay for.
Limewire the program should be sued as it is harbouring the transfer of illegal files and taking profit it from it (Limewire Pro). A program like frostwire or utorrent cant/shouldn't be sued as no profit is madde and technically speaking the program is legal but can be used illegally.

Indeed. Buying a CD makes it your property. You have paid your rights to the CD and all the songs that it contains. However, by ripping the songs into mp3 format and throwing them on the internet, others are getting the same music without having to pay the price that you did. It's not a matter of 'others getting in trouble' because you are equally at fault for having provided them with free music. In the case of Limewire, it's even worse. I'll admit that I have downloaded a handful of music using the program, but I also have to admit that doing so is illegal. Limewire offers a version of their program that you pay for. They are making money off of YOU, while the music you are downloading was created by other artists, from other recording companies. Are they reaping the benefits that they should be for having made said music? No, and that's the problem. Basically if you wrote an essay, and some bastard took it, threw it on the internet, where thousands of people proceeded to print it out and receive 100% at school, would you be happy? No. Because it is YOUR work, and OTHERS are taking advantage of it.

Re: LimeWire Gets Sued
I don't believe I actually have any music that is copyrighted in the United States. Or, at least, by the RIAA.
I have over 20000 mp3s, so this is probably impressive...? |

Re: LimeWire Gets Sued
Moogy has the Japanese soundtrack. It really doesn't matter even if it were licensed since he has the Japanese format.
If the Japanese soundtrack and the licensed soundtrack were in the same store on the same shelf, they'd have different SKUs. That's proof enough. |

Re: LimeWire Gets Sued
I doubt Bandai will release the OST over here anyway. Or rather, all 3 of them.
Now I'll go back to looping my Touhou remix albums. |

If you do something that is such a commodity that you're able to earn a million dollars a month (I might add that there are VERY few bands that can post such an impressive stat. Most music artists are poor their entire lives.), then you deserve to MAKE that much money.

Re: LimeWire Gets Sued
Like I always said. Ignorance is a virtue, but patience got killed by the vulture. I don't think this makes sense, but whatever.

Re: LimeWire Gets Sued
I ROFL at the avatar Inu. But like mention, it is limewire that is being sued and not the users. (Rings bell of attention) Wake-up people. Read the threads. It was mentioned at least 10 times that users will not be involved.

Re: LimeWire Gets Sued
Your spelling makes you look like Albert Einstein. Your grammar is just as beautiful as a Unicorn. You slang of ***holes makes you look hip. And your approach was very talented. I give you an A+ for your work of stupidity of language. Oh wait, this was a noob post, I have to give you extra credit. For your lack of hard work in reading the forum ettiquet (sp) I give you an A++. Total score you ask??? You have earned 125 noob points. It is alright to be a noob though. Sometimes, I still am a noob.

Yeah, they're assholes for expecting to get paid for doing their job.

Re: LimeWire Gets Sued
I think without the Internet/P2P programs, people could not be aware of all the music that is out there. This causes them to become bigger fans, and maybe get some CDs or go to a concert. I think that programs like Limewire have a good side because they're informing the public about different music =/
