copyright lawsuit against music sharer?

By Yahoo User • Category: Copyrights Lawsuit

I think this is total and utter BS all the way. I can’t understand this. What would be the difference if say 1,702 came over to her house and recorded music on to a cassette tape. I never heard of anyone being sued over that, please help me understand I already think this country is about ready to crumble under the weight of it’s own ginormous head.

  1. I agree about the country crumbling…funny. Are you talking about the sUe-S-of-A?

  2. someone stole someone else’s property and gave it to 1702 other people and that’s OK with you?By the way whats a ginormous head?

  3. Well for one thing it is harder from them to catch you making copies at home. But on the internet you leave your address. So the moral to this is Don’t Share Music OVER THE INTERNET!!!!

  4. Even copying cassetes and cds at home for freinds is illegal…the internet made it easier to catch people.

  5. First the band gets raped by the record company they get an advance to record the music. It costs about two bucks to produce the CD and the company sells it for $15.00. They give the band about a dollar and a half for each copy sold.When you steal the music on the Internet less folks buy the album the bands get even less, so the band is going to pursue their copyrights.But the funny thing is the record companies push harder cause then they sue the websites who provide the download-able music and then give nothing to the bands!!!Lars of Matellica made an butt out of himself with the Napster outrage, little did he know the egg was on him! The record company got a free lobbyist with him! Good move there drummer boy!And yes the record companies fought the dual cassette makers in the 80’s but you could not track them down with an IP address like the Internet.
