question

has anyone thats ever been sued by the RIAA, taken them to court instead of settling out of court. Someone has to do it

[cjules13]

one did - but eventually gave up. nycfashiongirl. There are a lot of unsettled suits out there - my bet is that someone might try, but is working on an angle... it's a pickle to try and talk you're way out of...

[flantanella]

yea I just wish they would do it to me, cause its bullshit what they are doing.
Seems like my ISP is a bunch of pussys as they say they will fight but might as well bend over

[flantanella]

do you know whats the MPAA doing and the software people cause I dont download music anymore

[cjules13]

MPAA and software are only sending out cease and decist letters now. There is no danger for prosecution.... yet. You may be in danger though if you receive multiple C&Ds, then your ISP will say you are violating policy, and cut you off. But if you live in a larger metro area just switch ISPs, they'll be glad to have your business.

For safe music sharing try private DC hubs, newsgroups, or even try www.allofmp3.com (http://www.allofmp3.com) for super cheap quasi-legal full albums in good quality, even music videos, and there's zero chance you could get sued for that. www.espew.com (http://www.espew.com) gives free shit out too butit's only a matter of time till they're gone. But the RIAA can't see who dl'ing from there...
