Nitrousbird Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I'd never be stupid enough to download music on a campus connection either, at least without using a proxy server. What I'd like to know is, if someone actually does pay the RIAA, who gets that money?? But do they really think this has stopped people from downloading music??

Lustalbert Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 RIAA = Lawyers out to make as much $ as possible for themselves. I have not heard of a single story where the atist has recived a single penny of royalties from the RIAA suing people on thier behalf.

I have not heard of a single story where the atist has recived a single penny of royalties from the RIAA suing people on thier behalf. I totally agree, it's all about money. If there was as much profit to be made in catching murderer's and child molester's then we'd never have that problem in the first place.

Bam Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I'd bargain with them, be like hey dick, i could've bought these from itunes for $.99 per song, and I downloaded 750songs, so I'll round up to $1000 and you can go fuck yourself.

Kevin R. Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Haha. Yeah we got emails about this and I was like FUCK. I escaped this time. BTW - I am pretty sure you can avoid getting caught by just unsharing all of your songs, or at least I tell myself that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Don't Share.. Problem Fixed RIAA does not come after students and individuals for downloading music, rather they attack those who distribute it unlawfully. Just don't' share...take from others and let them pay the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Psh... Kids anymore. I am glad barely anyone knows about the other ways (not p2p) to get files. Save me some bandwidth! And proxy are lifesavers. Wingates are fun too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

street pilot Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Don't Share.. Problem Fixed There's a thought, if there is absolutely nothing to download then no one will get in trouble. Way to let the RIAA win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin R. Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I unshare all my shit after I found out there were crackin' down at OU. Otherwise I would be fine with it. Just don't feel like paying a fine. But I will gladly share them if you pay the fine for me....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was one of the few around me who didn't have it installed... back in 2000 wthere until maybe mid Dec when they had there "big layoff" I was away on my honeymoon only to come backwithout a job.

BTW - I am pretty sure you can avoid getting caught by just unsharing all of your songs, or at least I tell myself that. Exactly, as soon as I have a good set of songs I just move them to another unshared folder, problem fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wease Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 back in 2000 wthere until maybe mid Dec when they had there "big layoff" I was away on my honeymoon only to come backwithout a job. I was in building 2 on the floorth floor overlooking 270. I think we were in the same building and floor. I was hired to be a web developer for them, but after the layoff, the guy that hired me was gone and I was pushed into a support type of role. Needless to say, soon after that, I began to look elsewhere. I wasn't happy. Worse for you though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
