Ah, but dear, sweet Bronnen, downloading items that you own (which, now you do) is not illegal. You have nothing to ph34r...

all I know is that I have over 500 songs, 200 games, and a shit-ton of miscellaneous crap that I should have paid for... like movies... and tv series... etc...

Mp3 downloads are legal in Britain unless you sell them. Download law is pretty ambigous in the UK. I doubt they'd prosecute students unless they were doing some big time selling.

In the latest trial, a federal jury in Minneapolis ruled that she must pay $1.92 million for willful infringement of the recording industry's copyrights by posting the music on the file-sharing site Kazaa


Perhaps its more severe because she was actually uploading the songs. If it was mere downloading then perhaps her case wouldn't be pursued. Either way, I think the case will be dropped if she can take it higher.

Anomaly: Why do you think I've been quiet these past few minutes seto? I've been fapping away at her posts

Setoshin: Nommie that's nasty. Who faps to Christian Conservative Rhetoric? That's like me masturbating to a jpeg of John McCain.

Anomaly: I have weird fetishes, okay?!

What were you doing by the watermelons?

I'm prettty sure it's the same in Canada. All I know is that it isn't illegal to download, but I'm not sure of all the other laws.

Therefore, I propose all Americans simply cross the border to download music. b_happy

Go search again. Can't bring a house to water and force it to drink.
Yes, houses can be difficult like that.

o.o America should definitely join the dark side! I wonder if we ever would. Then again single songs are being sold for 99 cents and companies like Napster would be doomed. *frowns*
