Kazaa deserves it, but....: I think it's fine to punish the scumbags trying to profit from the
illegal infringement of others. But this doesn't really affect anyone
other than Sharman, and will do little to stem the tide elsewhere.; Posted by: tic swayback Posted on: 09/06/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use

Kazaa deserves it, but.... tic swayback | 09/06/05

So your saying do nothing... No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/06/05

So what's your solution voska | 09/06/05

Here's a solution osreinstall | 09/06/05

But that's irrelevant here tic swayback | 09/06/05

Don't worry, that will be the next law. osreinstall | 09/06/05

That's gonna be a hard one to pass tic swayback | 09/06/05

Not Really osreinstall | 09/06/05

People are aware voska | 09/06/05

Evidence tic swayback | 09/06/05

That isn't evidence. That is political crusading. osreinstall | 09/06/05

What are the charges against her? tic swayback | 09/06/05

I believe that's called extortion voska | 09/06/05

According to that website that is pro P2P osreinstall | 09/06/05

Blame the victim tic swayback | 09/06/05

She is not a victim. Just unaware osreinstall | 09/06/05

Better yet tic swayback | 09/06/05

No just the infringers. osreinstall | 09/06/05

Who are the infringers? tic swayback | 09/07/05

Infringers are the ones who take IP without paying for it. osreinstall | 09/07/05

Thanks Big Brother tic swayback | 09/07/05

Your welcome little brother. osreinstall | 09/07/05

Serious implications tic swayback | 09/07/05

OSreinstal, you should be locked up voska | 09/07/05

Implications already here. osreinstall | 09/07/05

Only if the machine has uploaded files. osreinstall | 09/07/05

Implications are not law tic swayback | 09/07/05

I think your confused osreinstall | 09/07/05

Mind reading tic swayback | 09/07/05

No mind reading osreinstall | 09/07/05

Intent is not clear tic swayback | 09/07/05

Outcompete free tic swayback | 09/06/05

If they did that voska | 09/06/05

Honor system thru incentives never worked. osreinstall | 09/06/05

That's why I don't use the honor system tic swayback | 09/06/05

Nope osreinstall | 09/06/05

Sticking your head in the sand won't help things tic swayback | 09/06/05

When the files are protected you are correct. osreinstall | 09/06/05

Life isn't fair voska | 09/06/05

No arrests tic swayback | 09/06/05

Life never was fair. But I found that out too long ago. osreinstall | 09/06/05

More than one path Grasshopper tic swayback | 09/06/05

True, but they will decide which one. osreinstall | 09/06/05

No change or progress ever? tic swayback | 09/07/05

There will be change but it will be cooperative osreinstall | 09/07/05

And the market has no say? tic swayback | 09/07/05

Not at all osreinstall | 09/07/05

Did this woman have intent? tic swayback | 09/07/05

Clueless voska | 09/07/05

Never Never Land tic swayback | 09/07/05

No a Better Better Land osreinstall | 09/07/05

The right to go bankrupt tic swayback | 09/07/05

The right to be cranky with their property osreinstall | 09/07/05

I wouldn't put it past them tic swayback | 09/07/05

You bet. osreinstall | 09/07/05

I said nothing of the kind tic swayback | 09/06/05

It will affect other scumbags. osreinstall | 09/06/05

What precedent does it set? tic swayback | 09/06/05

And arresting as usual. And your real point? osreinstall | 09/06/05

Hop aboard what? tic swayback | 09/06/05

Anyone that doesn't have file protection is bad in my book. osreinstall | 09/06/05

Technology is not to blame tic swayback | 09/06/05

You are wrong osreinstall | 09/06/05

Still not part of the AAC file format tic swayback | 09/06/05

Apple will not have a choice osreinstall | 09/06/05

Plenty of choice tic swayback | 09/06/05

Sorry to break it to you osreinstall | 09/06/05

Not a chance tic swayback | 09/06/05

Your being rebellious again! osreinstall | 09/06/05

AAC is an open format tic swayback | 09/07/05

No it isn't osreinstall | 09/07/05

You're confusing "open" with "open source" tic swayback | 09/07/05

Not at all osreinstall | 09/07/05

Sorry, sloppy language on my part tic swayback | 09/07/05

Thats ok osreinstall | 09/07/05

Lots of products fail tic swayback | 09/07/05

So what, it is their property. osreinstall | 09/07/05

Cutting off your nose to spite your face tic swayback | 09/07/05

You are wishful thinking as law. osreinstall | 09/07/05

All I want is to keep my legal rights tic swayback | 09/07/05

You have them osreinstall | 09/07/05

Finally, someone stands up to the RIAA tic swayback | 09/06/05

Now this is news voska | 09/06/05

Ans when they stomp her into a mud hole... No_Ax_to_Grind | 09/06/05

I highly doubt she will lose voska | 09/06/05

Good luck with that tic swayback | 09/06/05

She should also sue that little kid's parents osreinstall | 09/06/05

For what? Fred Fredrickson | 09/07/05

Nice try Fred osreinstall | 09/07/05

What info did the ISP provide? tic swayback | 09/07/05

Enough to implicate her. osreinstall | 09/07/05

Implications are not enough tic swayback | 09/07/05

You betcha osreinstall | 09/07/05

Not her responsibility tic swayback | 09/07/05

Civil is different from criminal osreinstall | 09/07/05

You still have to convince a jury tic swayback | 09/07/05

It is real easy osreinstall | 09/07/05

I thought you needed to prove intent? tic swayback | 09/07/05

Isn't civil law wonderful osreinstall | 09/07/05

The RIAA fears that tic swayback | 09/07/05

She is afraid too inspite of her bluster. osreinstall | 09/07/05
