Xcom46...nowhere in the original post does it say she was sharing these files... Isn't downloading 6,000 songs enough? I mean, at the going rate of 1 dollar a song, that's...wait a minute...I think I've got it...$6,000!
Just because she is no different than you (so you say) doesn't mean that she wasn't stupid! I bet she just feels unlucky (like you or I would feel if we got busted).
If you break the law, you may get busted! Maybe not right away, but if you do it long enough or excessively enough, you will eventually get caught!
It's a risk we take if we download copywrited material...we all need to ask ourselves "how much is this worth to me...is it worth the risk?"
Just something to think about
: at my local library, I can check out commercial films for free. FILE-SHARING? Looks like it to me. I hope my library doesn't get sued!
