Wake in Atlantic v. Howell. You see how our legal system is? Like when Clinton had the balls to ask on national TV what is your definition of the word "is". It's all a game. Only this time a literal reading of federal law led Judge Wake to his legal conclusion. “Merely making a copy available does not constitute distribution” later wrote Judge Neil V. Wake in Atlantic v.

WTF 5 minutes? Had I been on that jury they never would have gotten a guilty verdict. In fact I would bet that I could bring half those people up to speed as to how file sharing works and how there was no way to prove that she did anything wrong. Saying that having files in a shared folder is wrong is about the same and accusing some one of murder just because they own a gun and have bullets loaded in it. uh-oh Sounds like the people that got payed off for the case cant do anything any more.
