I just saw on TechTV that as of today, the Government is going to track all filesharing program's behavior. This means that if you download any copywrited material, you will get fined. They have already fined 100,000 people and have fined for over $100,000. This is just a warning to everyone out there.

Whose Government? And where? And who are these hundred thousand people being fined? And who are their lawyers? Document yourself.

Sounds like a scare tactic to me. And you sound like a scare tactic.

Buzz off, Zopilote.

Trying to stop this stuff is pointless.

How is the government going to tell it was me. They can't trace the IP address. Or can they. :P

I'm not worried.

I'm not worried. They say "Why did you download the copyrighted Metallica - Nothing Else Matters" and I say "I didn't mean to, what I thought I was getting was a cooking recipes, some old noddy must have renamed it"

Let's see...that's about a dollar per head? :lol:

My lawyer won't do anything for less than a thousand dollars.

Jeez, pull it out, dude!

ok, so it doesnt matter. but can the government look on your computer for illegal stuff?

deckard
12-05-2002, 01:57 AM
Anybody can look in on your computer if they want to bad enough. The question is, just how badly do they want to, and among the 6 or 7 million of us (just a rough estimation +/- 10 or 20%) doing P2p will they take the trouble to? And then, and then, just how much trouble do they want to go through taking them to court? Here in the US litigation costs a fortune and takes forever...

We are too many. And growing more daily.

Kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again.
It's been a long, long time.
Haven't felt like this, my dear
Since I can't remember when.
It's been a long, long time

You'll never know how many dreams
I've dreamed about you.
Or just how empty they all seemed without you.
So kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again.
It's been a long, long time.

Ah, kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again.
It's been a long time.
Haven't felt like this my dear
Since I can't remember when
It's been a long, long time.

You'll never know how many dreams
I dreamed about you.
Or just how empty they all seemed without you.
So kiss me once then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again.
It's been a long, long time.

Here´s a link to a Dutch newssite, claiming that 150 Danish users have been fined $16,- per CD and $60,- per movie they downloaded using KaZaa and eDonkey. They traced their IP addresses through their internet providers.

Way to go BG, that kind of rubs this in to an open wound does it not? Ouch. Let me apologize for my american co-hort, he was trying to be funny, however getting billed for p2p files just isn't right and should be made light of.

BG- it was funny though.

At least for now.... Bush and his puppets will probably re-write the document the first chance they get.
