With services like Napster which only charge $15 a month for unlimited access to music isn’t this all a moot point? Same thing with NetFlix and being able to stream movies over the Web. Isn’t it cheaper to just subscribe than risk legal fees and fines etc.?

It’s not about subscribing to legal napster music or whatever you want. It’s about them trying to steal money from people that never broke the law in the first place. It’s about a corrupt corporation that thinks sharing music funds national terrorism. They are seriously morons. The RIAA needs to be dealt with. This whole situation is stupid.

I wish the best to the EFF. Hope they win and don’t allow any “shared folder” precedent to hold.

If the RIAA wins then they might as well hand over a subpoena to everyone that has a home network. I dont know about anyone else but I have legal mp3s in my “Shared Documents” folder. I keep most of my mp3s here so I can stream them to whichever computer I am on at the time.
I would like to note that the “Shared Documents” folder is automatically setup when Windows is installed so at the very least Microsoft should be held accountable for being an accessory to attempted copyright infringment.

The EEF are my heroes! Corrupt evil overbloated (and did I mention scary?) entities like the RIAA should be wiped from the face of the earth anyway possible. They are the stuff of nightmares. I refuse to ever buy a music CD again because of these terrible horrible leeches feeding off artist’s creative talent while they punish people for simply sharing the music they legally purchased. Suing people especially collecge students is not the answer. They only pick on collecge students anyway because they are such an easy taget and probabyl have money stuck away somewhere to pay for their education or maybe rich fat parents they can exploit for fine money! These maggots should be sued out of existense for the pain and hurt/torture and blackmail they have inflicted on people.
