Which country are you in?

As far as muse goes, as far back as record'g devices've been around, there's been some form of copy (I think that means more than a year ago.) Most likely many music execs themselves have unauthorised tape record'gs of stuff, not to mention stuff on their vcr's that they have no permission to copy & watch/show to friends. They are after the big people, people who do it to make a quid (exceptions however, it could be consequential to another issue - particularly a computer issue - to add weight to this something else.) But I'm neither a lawyer, legal specialist, or even live in your country so I don't pretend to know anything special. These are opinions. Despite the power pull of the music industry & others I don't think any government would risk being thrown out on their arses by taking such a stalinistic hardline approach. Particularly when the % of population that utilises p2p reaches far & beyond all demographic groups. Exceptions for those under 7 years of age!

Sorry deepblue, I know I definitely started my post before u but on a dial up with lw & other processes going, time almost stands still at times. I think mstfyd was refering to this thread & its links & this other thread & what it says.

I guess the point is not to overreact or b/c paranoic. That talk was of the extreme. For average joe there's probably nothing to worry about. If you're like the rest of us & don't upld/dwnld unlicenced material then u don't have anything to worry about. It's just the very small minority who try to give Gnutella a bad name (if it has one I don't think it does!) hehehe " Is it true? Does size matter?" I guess it depends upon which girl/guy u speak to. What do u think? Do u want me to give u a thred ref to it?
