You can really get into trouble when you download songs.... WOW! email this discussion to a friend?

I was reading this morning about a woman who got a 1.92 million dollar judgement against her for illegally sharing music on Kazaa.com. Wow! I am always finding songs on limewire. I hope I dont ever get in trouble. I guess what she did was share music. I think. Is it wrong to download music? Why do they let you then?

Really? I dont know that .. i am using also limewire to get music so far dont have any problem encounter. I hope i will not be dealing such that thing. Maybe its only good when you download a song and used it for personal but not to share the music i think thats the violation she get. Sorry for the woman ..


myLot reputation of 95/100. dloveli (1013)   ranked 2 out of 135 in limewire.com  7 months ago

I am doing the same exact thing. I love lime wire. I didnt know any of this. I mean I do know about copyright infringement. I didnt realize how serious and issue this is. I, too, use it personally. I have made cd's for people as gifts. I dont understand if its not allowed, why they let you do it.dl

it's not so much you downloading the songs, it when you download them and send them or sale them to other people. which is call file sharing


myLot reputation of 95/100. dloveli (1013)   ranked 2 out of 135 in limewire.com  7 months ago

All I can say is WOW! Why would they give a mother of 4, barely making it as it is, that much of a fine? To make a point? Okay but I am quite sure that $1000 would have been the same as $1.92 million. She has nothing! dl


myLot reputation of 62/100. darkjedi (4380)   ranked 63 out of 135 in limewire.com  7 months ago

Why? Because RIAA and the damn MPAA are nothing but bullshiit and need to be shut down.


myLot reputation of 88/100. syankee525 (3538)   ranked 14 out of 135 in limewire.com  7 months ago

how they are looking at it, downloading songs is hurting the music business for the artist. there for it's taking money away from them on cd sales.
like i am a songwriter, so if you download one of my songs, then turn around and sale it to someone else for a few bucks it take money away from me to feed my family. i can see both side of this for real.
but i yea why would fine her that much if they know she dont have it and will never have it or get it to pay.

I know a few ppl that use limewire but for me it isn't worth the risk that you take. I can go to YouTube and hear any song I want...complete with video...anytime I want and I won't get into trouble. It's like copying DVD's, at the very beginning most movies say the penalty for copying the movie is 5 years in prison and $500,000 in fines. Imagine how many movies you could buy for $500,000 and how much of your life you'd miss out on in 5 years...all to copy a movie that might cost you $10-15. Just not worth the risk.

BTW, it's my understanding that whether you are uploading music or a movie to share or whether you are downloading music or a movie that someone else shared that it is illegal. You are violating copyright laws by sharing something that you don't have permission to share. Even though you bought the CD or DVD it states it's copyrighted on it and not for public sharing. Also if your downloading your taking something that you didn't pay for. Ppl do it b/c they can't afford to buy them new but it's still illegal and if your caught the fines are very hefty along with possible jail time.

I went to magavideo.com you pay 200.00 for lifetime and everyone get's their money is happy....


myLot reputation of 95/100. dloveli (1013)   ranked 2 out of 135 in limewire.com  7 months ago

THey allow you to download music to that they will get you to buy the CD. THey allow you to do it so you can enjoy it. Not to sell it. I dont think that any site should give the song on good faith if they are going to charge you with a crime later. Lets be honest... How many households have been hurt by the economy? How many single parent homes are there? I can totally understand why people do it. I am living proof that working 3 jobs still dont have money. dl

And that is half the problem right there. She used kazaa. Kazaa has been taken over by them years ago, and has so many damn viruses its not funny, wonder what her computer looked like. Hell I bet they put something on her computer to track her by her using that crappy program. I dont use limewire, I use Mirc or mininova to get anything. You didnt know its a copyright violation to download music or anything else? They dont let you, these sites are not part of them lol. They are pirate sites. Hell ive been a pirate for about 13 years now. I download music, movies, computer games, tv shows, and applications, and I find cracks for the apps so I dont have to pay for the few that I have that you are supposed to. Ive never gotten caught, you just have to know how to do it.


myLot reputation of 62/100. darkjedi (4380)   ranked 63 out of 135 in limewire.com  7 months ago

You do know this makes you a software and music pirate right dloveli? They wont care that you didnt know. Hell dont let that stop you though. This woman is the first woman they actually caught who was downloading music and sharing. Everyone else they caught some of them didnt even own computers, so yeah. They are nothing but a joke.


Hell I didnt even know kazaa was still around lol.


myLot reputation of 62/100. darkjedi (4380)   ranked 63 out of 135 in limewire.com  7 months ago

Damn, just went to kazaa's website. There is no way in hell I would trust that site, they are to professional now, no way in hell.


myLot reputation of 93/100. roseyroser (722)  7 months ago

I'm a pirate too! RRRRRRR (lol) I agree, you have to know how to do it without getting it. I usually torrent the stuff I download, and when I'm done with it in my uTorrent program I delete it. I think it might be a way to avoid advertising how much stuff I've downloaded.

Hello there! I never really heard of it... I think this is just a rumor... I am a certified expert in the world of internet (although im just new here) and as far as I know, P2P programs such as LimeWire are legal and licensed... The thing that makes that woman to be accused for something (if it's real), she published copies of that song in the web without a licensed. If you're the one dowloaded the LimeWire program from the web, they will ask you a question if you are gonna use your downloads personally or perform it on public, if you choose perform it on the public (not the actual sentence, but with the same sense) they won't allow you to get the program. Meaning, your downloads from LimeWire should be used personally, OK?


FruitRocks (10)  3 months ago

yes; LimeWire (the regular version) is open-sourced under the GPL license. The woman got in trouble for illegally downloading the music.

People have actually been cracking down on limewire users lately. My parents have wireless internet, and got an angry letter that said they would be prosecuted if they didn't stop using limewire. Apparently, one of their neighbors is using their wireless internet and sharing songs on limewire CONSTANTLY.

My dad had to explain to the company that it wasn't them and told them he was password-protecting their internet so it could not happen again. Hopefully, the neighbor will not be able to crack into the wireless and do this again. My parents haven't heard anything back, and they still don't know which neighbor it is that was stealing internet!

I think that was real dumb of her, to share the music that she downloaded, on the internet, she knew what she was doing, and I don't feel sorry for her, people do dumb things, then when they get into trouble, they act like they didn't know, this downloading issue is nothing new, it has been on the news before, so I am not surprised this woman got caught, lot more will get caught because it has been done before. sadthumbdownshocked

It so funny because my mp3 player holds 500 songs and I only have 53 and 10 came with the mp3 player. lol. That is over a 2 year period. I dont really get into searching and preparing playlists and all that jazz. I just do it maybe once or twice every 6 months. I hardly think it makes us criminals. wouldnt you agree? Thanks my friend. happy downloading just kidding. dl

This is a case of the problem that just won't go away, dloveli. I heard about this on the radio news and was immediately reminded of when the case first got started. I believe the fact that the recording companies have agreed to accept a few thousand to make the case go away is an admission that they are using this woman for a scapegoat, to make an example of her. I'm reasonably certain that the amount of music she downloaded illegally could not be worth almost $2 million. I also believe that she has suffered enough public humiliation to "make the case go away."rolleyes
