30Hz.wav Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 If he uploaded each song 20,000 times to 20,000 people at 5 megabytes a song. That's about 100 Gigs per song meaning he would have had to uploaded over 3 terabytes of these 31 songs. Back when kazaa was around, most people didn't have an internet capable of uploading that much. This is bullshit. They should have just slapped him with a couple thousand dollar fine.

Omega5002 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Though it sucks for guy due to the fine, but you have to realize that he was giving downloads for people to access to, which can lead to a big problem. Take like this, if you download something and keep it to yourself, then you're usually fine, but if you download something, and then upload to where people can access it or even worse, sell it to make a profit, then you'll get in huge trouble. Kinda like with drugs, who gets more in trouble, the buyer or the dealer This is what happened to MegaUpload, and this is why YouTube and this forum doesn't allow copyright infringement, the OP may not get in trouble or simply get banned, but the site can get into huge legal troubles. 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When kazaa was around, many people that were very illiterate about computers were downloading it and installing it, but what many people didn't know is that when they downloaded music, it was automatically sharing the music with other people. So people were distributing many copies of the song without really knowing it. And which made the sharing problem worse, is when you install the program, it usually autostarts in the system tray icon, when the computer starts, therefore making you share more music while you are doing your everyday tasks. I'm sure if people were more aware that sharing is the actual problem, they would have went and disabled it. But I think it is very stupid to go after some people who did not intentionally mean to distribute the music and make them pay hundreds of thousands!

BobbyG2 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 If they really want to stop pirating, send everyone they find downloading and sharing songs a bill for $0.99/song, with a note saying that further pirating will result in legal action. I think that's MUCH more fair, and gets the point across a further audience. Millions of dollars for downloading a few song is just wayy over excessive and hardly justice. *New vehicle and system coming soon.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baydestrian Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 This is why P2P programs like Kazaa failed, too easy to get caught. I rarely DL from torrents, its usually teh pr0n if I do lol, but I make sure to exit out and move the file so I don't seed the file. I've got a few warnings for music in my 4shared folder, a couple times is was completely free music to be distributed but somebody decided to flag it. I think on the 3rd or 4th warning they got a bit serious and said to delete any files that may be in violation b/c they will check in a few days so I just ended up deleting every single file from my folders to not risk anything. 2015 Mazda 6 JVF Customz 4.0 Proto 15>Wolfram W4500 @ .5ohm 2 Sundown Neo 6.5 + 2 CT Meso Tweeters (Front) x Kicker KS6.5 (Rear)>JL Audio VX400/4i NSB-AMG35 (front) / 40ah Lithium Headway (Rear) built by Erni Audio & Electrical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
