With all this info on theft, copyright infrignement, etc is limewire only making non-copyrighted songs, video available to its customers for download?

Well, after finally getting torrents figured out, I downloaded a couple of movies. One being the Please read the forum Rules Shortly thereafter my ISP gets a message from:

LW has nothing whatsever to do with 'what' files are shared on the gnutella network, in the same way Bearshare, Shareaza, morhpeus, phex, Frostwire, etc. are. Gnutella is p2p (peer to peer; person to person sharing of information.) Gnutella is sharing files from one person to another, NOTHING whatsoever to do with a server holding 'any' files, except those spammed by the RIAA, MPAA, etc.'s sponsored spam customers. The RIAA & MPAA have broken 'so many' USA & international laws & behave like Crime Syndicates. In fact worse; Beware of Fake files in search results; Terrorists of the internet, sponsoring their spam customers to spread VIRUSES worldwide, without the slightest bit of a feeling of guilt about doing it. They are not sorry for their actions. How guilty is that! ?

When it gets to that stage then obviously stop sharing that file, obviously on the 'hotlist' of files not to share at that time. This generally applies to most recent ones. Of course you should 'not' share copyright material !!!

If I go to George's place (my friend/neighbour) to watch his video, of course I am in breach of copyright for a public broadcast, or at least that is how MPAA would 'like' to define it, but of course that's not true unless you wish to allow them to pressure government into allowing such. (Of course you are aware of 'where' your local & regional politicians stand on this matter right? If not find out ! MPAA & RIAA are making secret pacts with government officials all the time to 'make new laws' in their favor, and you just stand by ... & complain later?)

On July 18, 2009, the RIAA was awarded damages of nearly two million dollars in a lawsuit against Jammie Thomas for file-sharing.

The RIAA has filed new cases in September 2009 and October 2009.

Does anybody know what the RIAA's current legal strategy is?

There is so much moralizing and polemic and chest-thumping and self-justification on this topic.

That's not what I'm asking for.

Does anybody have some facts? Recent facts?

Thank you.
