Thread: The Legallity Of File Sharing

  1. #51
    Well, you're certainly right that the DLing is the easy part, although that can get complex, depending upon whether or not one knows and uses all of the tools available to speed it up. Without those tools, you're end for pretty snail-like DLs. Also, given a successful DL, just playing it back on your computer is straightforward. If you decide, however, that you'd like to sit in the comfort of your living room, while your movie plays in your DVD player, things get a little more complex, with the encoding, etc. I would refer you to all of the "why can't I" and "why doesn't it work" threads on this site and several others. And - there aren't going to be hard numbers on either classification of users, for obvious reasons.

    And, I bet if you cared to look, you'd see most of the files being transferred through ICQ, MSN, AIM, Trillian, etc. are "pirated."

    Don't forget that Kazaa also lets you search for legal files. It's all in the use.

    3% of all downloads on Kazaa are legal, so f**k you

    Are you sure? Where are your sources? I can pull random percentages out of the air too.

    85% of people think that this thread is no longer relevant.

    I am 100% certain you have not searched for every legal file on Kazaa and cross-referenced it with every "illegal" file. You don&#39;t know what a legal or illegal file is. What&#39;s legal on one computer may not be on another.

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t

    I have a signed letter from my mommy that says every file on my HD is totally legal, so I feel safe.

    She&#39;s writing me a new one now...

    "Please excuse Clocker from his 3-5 year prison sentence for illegal filesharing. He isn&#39;t feeling well.
    Thank you,
    Mrs. Clocker"
