According to the Supreme Court's decision Monday, having and using the software is perfectly legal. But if you use LimeWire or any other P2P software to violate copyrights, then you are endangering the very company that provided you the software.

The music-recording industry (RIAA) and the movie industry (MPAA) are getting really serious about enforcing their copyrights. The simple solution is to *stop sharing copyrighted material*.

But so long as you are not violating copyrights, you are free to use file sharing. File sharing is not itself illegal.

Or you might just keep sharing copyrighted material hoping that they won't get you as long as everybody else is doing it too.

It's like parking tickets, only the fine is higher and the probability of getting caught is lower.

Oh MY... !

t_j4 is getting rather close to the "Monte Carlo Fallacy" of statistical anal-isis ! ( A rather popular god today !!! )


Last time I checked, the Supreme Court of the United States of America was precisely that...

A specific branch of the judiciary structure of the government of the sovereign entity known as The United States of America...

It does NOT have jurisdiction over any other sovereign state other than by treaty...

The U.S.A. continuously ignores, abrogates and breaks treaties and U.N. resolutions...

phug 'em

Do not allow yourself to be one of those who 'empowers' further this rogue and criminal state.

Dear Ursula

You are right when you said that the Supreme Court have no jurisdiction over other countries but the MPAA don't seem to think so, read the following:

how do you share files from limewire w/out violating copyright? every time i try, i`m told it`s licensed!!!

Files from here are legal.

+ MagnetMix.com +: The Source for Good Content.

Also Files with a Creative Commons License is fine.

There are other files like Ebooks that are also fine to share, but be sure to always use Bitzi because alot of these if not most are Zip Files that could contain some bad stuff.
