Getting Sued By Riaa

[DarkBlizzard]

I'd say in america ur chances of getting sued by the RIAA are 5 times better than winning the lottery 1 time. But the chance of getting sued for more than $5000 are like 12 times more than winning the lottery. But they wont catch you anyway. Get a proxy to be safe.

If that is the case... then I can asure you that many others have misunderstood this new feature of Kazaa Lite... (' not disagreeing).

I guess any effort to keep the RIAA from downloading files is a good idea. (however I am starting to feel less paranoid by using Earthstation 5)

Considering the maximum penalty of 15,000 dollars per song, I'd say that it is safest to BUY copyrighted materials, at least until this blows over. You could also setup a proxy, but any dedicated can get by one with a bit of work.

the problem with a program which is as simple to use as k-lite is that there are a lot of inexperienced/new computer users who decide to dabble in p2p

this can lead to complications as you say...

the max is more like &#036;150,000 ( but they will never get that from a jury)

You know, thats a good point&#33;

Everyone should spread the word to brother/sister mp3 sharers to ASK FOR A JURY TRIAL if they have to go to court over a few songs&#33;&#33; - Just imagine how this could clog up the legal system.

It might clog up the legal system, but I doubt most filesharers are that selfless to sacrifice their time and money for the good of the entire P2P community.
