You know the Cria think they can stop filesharing by busting into peoples home to sue them. Don’t make me laugh the RIIA thought by putting an end to napster they won the war. I got a message for the music industries. Since napster people have learn to discover digital music. Listen to your customers needs a new era is in place. If you don’t ajust yourself to that you will lose ok. Look what apple itune has done and it’s very successful. So instead of trying to put an end to file sharing which by the way will go on forever cause people around the world will keep developping better software, listen to what the music fans has to say.

The people still by songs online and cd’s at store despite kazaa and other p2p network. The main purpose of a compagny is to meet the customers needs otherwise they will look elsewhere. No instesd i’ll bet you’re willing to sue children like they did in the u.s
which by the way i have never seen a company sue children before.
So this is the kind of thing you want do. You’ll have a bad reputation trust me.

Now that the CRIA has filed it’s suit with the Federal Court, can we find out what 29 IP addresses they are going after? These legal briefs must be public documents, right? Sounds like these people have 1 month to buttress themselves against a potential outting.

This is precisely correct. Yes they have taken napster, but this is only the begin. Current developments are much more secure. A recent program I have seen allows groups of people to join into a private network that is encrypted from everyone outside… To enter one of these networks it is necessary to be invited and gain the appropriate keys for the encryption. These systems might not have the numbers of the big p2p networks, but they have the security from being shutdown. Imagine a ring of friends that each share the music they possess… therefore each computer would be a node, the network would be more efficient and of a higher quality. The music industry only accomplishing pissing people off, intimidating the less technologically literate away, but those that work with computers in a daily basis will find ways to circumvent these disruptions and entrench themselves in a virtual fort.

Hmmmm… so after convincing the government to tax us to support them, they now decide that isn’t enough and want more. I don’t blaim the artists but those companies that are making indecent profits on the recordings.

If this is where “they” want to make profits maybe it’s time all of the other taxes, surcharges were dropped and the companies left to fend for themselves in an open market place.

Tell me, If they didn’t want us to share music, why didn’t they implement laws governing such things BEFORE they released such filetypes as MP3s and Windows media files. This would have saved a lot of time and money. And I agree with some of the things others have said here, are they going to start telling us that lending our friends CDs so that they can listen (and maybe make themselves a copy) is illegal? If so how will they police that?

On a side note, downloading movies from the net, I have no sympathy for the movie industry… The actors do NOT NEED to make several million dollars per movie… That is friggin’ nuts. All of them should be set for life now, and no longer need to make movies and live happily rich. I don’t really think that with the cost of CD and concerts and band paraphenalia, that they are hurting as much as they say either.

Also, I think that since most of the music downloads are by young people, this is a sign of something. YOUNG PEOPLE ARE POOR!!! I know I would not download music if I had money to my name. But as a university student, that is not the case. Not to mention suing people is NO WAY to gain loyalty and expect people to buy CDs. For starters, paying the fine would eliminate any chance of my ever buying CDs in the future.

How about they try and prove that the people d/l off u don’t already own their own copy, that why we can say that we are lending the cd…are they going to say that leanding a cd to a friend is not legal now?

This attack on sharring files by the music insustry (the rich)in Canada is pussy. If this happens we should not have to pay extra for blank cd’s anymore. Untill this ends with our write to share files without a problem my family and I will not buy another cd. We used to buy plenty cd’s that had value. I will burn them from other sorces. File sharers will find another way.

I think before everyone trys to stop music pirates etc. they ought to concentrate on the real problem on the net , and that is Porn!!
Music improves the world, porn is a sewer of sickos and is leading to more attacks on children etc.
