Take Caution...

Do take caution, I notice a lot of you use limewire....well...music industries have discovered this "illegal" downloading site...and their catching anyone and everyone...according to a local newspaper I read...WRAL...did an interview with the company and they've already caught over 23,000 people...and most of them are settling out of court for $5 a song...so unfornunately I deleted limewire from my computer just to be on the safe side...just wanted to give you guys a heads up....

thanks fo' the warning Taylor...but I don't use Limewire...I use Bearshare and DC++...

I wonder if they'll bother going to cyprus to catch me.

Lmoa they should be concerend about rapidshare and forum links, and the torrent networks.

by the time they'll start catching the rapidshare users, will have newer ways to download. Its useless, only a violation a violation of peoples right.

The people are trully idiots. Singles are leaked on the internet by the arstist managers themselves. To get the artist heard.
IF today they close all internet resources, there will be less sales for the artists that didnt make it to mainstream.
So much for freedome. It should be upto to the person to choose if the artists music is worth the money spent on it. I doubt i would ever buy Daddy Kane's "Daddy's Home" and became a fan of his music, i f i hadnt downloaded 3 tracks from the album, a while back i now own almost all his original CD's.
Some real dumb bullshit.

1:0 to comunism.

I agree with everything Asp said...I mean to be honest...there's hardly a cd out in here today that I like all the tracks on it...What's the point in buying a cd if you only like 3 or 4 tracks??? And no problem for the warning...someone got caught less than 10 miles from me :whistle:

So I definetly said adios to limewire...couldn't risk it....It's stupid that their looking for programs like limewire or kazzaa, but their not looking for programs like rapidshare, torrents, or megaupload...It's stupid what this fuckin' world is coming too...damn....next we won't be able to write lyrics for the songs because "if the artist wanted lyrics he'd include them in the packet...we're suing you for copyright infrigment."..wtf???....

its called comercialism: everything revolves around cash.
ITs rediculous how i was watching MTV one day and i noticed they started bluring out t-shirt makes and advetizemens in videos :confusion:

, i mean seriously, How many of those greedy fat bastards with 3 yachts and 5 mansions are there. They all rob money from insignificant shit like this hence leaving the poor comunity in a trap were there only choice is to sell cocaine, from wich the goverment indeed profits (drugs are as good a resource as oil). Damn..

by **Ivy** » Feb 19th, '06, 21:53

No problem..just noticed a lot of people were talking about it so I figured I'd give a fair warning to all...just in case....That's a hell of a lot of money....
