I have NO fear of getting the pants sued off me *so to speak* for using kazaa. the reason so many people turn to filesharing for music is that CD's are basically a scam! Most people only want one or two songs on the CD... What so you must pay 15$ for your two songs?! Screw that! Kazaa lite is a safe community that does no harm to society... all these musicians complain about not getting their money... first of all they are FILTHY RICH and probably have NO need for the extra income. second of all what about the band and artists that are dead... Ohh im sure some rich tycoon with an army of attornies has rights to these songs, so who's making the money? not the artist thats who! :music1:

in all the RIAA can go to hell! and i think that Kazaa is a great way to get what you want out of your favorite bands and musicians!

Im sure everybody here will aggre with me.

JOIN US, ITS A REVOLUTION!!!

Who is afraid? The problem is that we are all practicing a form of civil disobedience. The structure of the industry is soon to change, and they will eventually allow filesharing, or lose thier customers. Stay strong and steadfast, and this will run its course like everything else. :music1:

ummm, hmm......may want this to tell the musicians who were in the biggest bands of their time who are now working construction and whatnot to pay the bills.....and you do realize that after a musician or band dies, the families get the money most of the time....

a guy at my school was fined $5000 by the RIAA. He said he was using Limewire constantly.. He said he was just an average down loader... who actually bought a quarter of the music he listened to in cds. Bull-F"n-Shista I tellz you! This is no joke, it really happened. RIAA is like the negative vibes who hate the good advertisement of file sharing. People get big and famous from file sharing.

[DoktaLuv]

Harvard Business School does a really good survey every year involving p2p sharing and mp3's, and 90% of the time they conclude that it actually INCREASES record sales.

At any rate, if it were $5.95 a month for usage, I'd probably pay for a month of it. Course, I'd also probably just upload free to my friends anyway Blank CD's anyone?

how the hell did this thread get bumped way up here?? This thread dates back to year 2003. And the last post in the thread at that time was in June of 2004 (Tikibonbon's post). Looks like Wolfmight bumped it back up....

Lol, i noticed it cause i remember that same thread a long time ago...
