Basically what I’m trying to say is that when someone is distributing a song on Gnutella I assume that they have the right to do so. Therefore I don’t think I’m violating any law. |
This is exactly the problem why some say downloading should be legal... but others think different. They say offering a song on a file-sharing system is ALWAYS illegal. So downloading is as well ...
