Filesharing?  

Indeed, I believe it should be legal. A downloaded song, or album, does not equal a lost sale. Just because I can download a song, or album, doesn't mean that I would've went out and bought it because I couldn't download it. Furthremore, all of the CD purchases I've made in the last year have been a direct result of file sharing. I would've never heard of any of my favorite artists had it not be for file sharing. As for the PirateBay, that's amazing. Them shutting the PirateBay down only furthered the file sharing "movement" by making the people trying to stop file sharing look even worse then they already do. Considering that they seized servers which had absolutely nothing to do with file sharing in the raid. Now the "Pirate Party" has spread to many countries outside of Sweden, when before I believe that it was exclusive to Sweden.

I'm definitely for allowing file sharing. As for the artists involved in the musical aspect, come on.. have you seen the price of a concert ticket? They're not hurting for money!

Filesharing rules. It might as well be legal since everybody does it and nobody gets arrested for it. Since everybody has access to the internet, everybody can share files, and there aren't enough jails in the world to arrest all the people who share files. Also, if I like a band a lot, then I usually go out and buy a CD because of the music that I have downloaded.

I believe that you should only be allowed to share files if you have permission from the person/company who ownes the files. It should not be legal to share a file that people are selling.

I think file sharing is ilegal, expecially when there is a copyright material that also share among others, But i'm also still doing the filesharing, expecially downloading fromt the filesharing, not uploading, since my internet bandwith is very very narrow. In my country software manufacture that allready trying to sweep ilegal filesharing maybe microsoft, the others still wait and see situation.

I think i never heard some news of someone sharing a copyrighted file or something... so i guess its ok to do it in the internet. But some countries are sctrict on filesharing like Britain or some parts of Europe. I tooked a class about copyrighted rules regarding using internet as a tool. The most strict about implementing rules about giving files from the internet is Europe.

as far as you are sharing or downloading non-copyright stuffs from the filesharing its legal.. the moment you do it its illegal.. its like picking up something from store whcih is free without paying for it, and picking up something from store which is not free without paying for it.
