Might want to take a break...or rethink it completely...

These people are seriously cracking down on this subject. 3 people in my LOCAL area have already been busted for it.

Did you know that it is a FEDERAL OFFENSE?! Thats no fine, thats no white-collar prison...its a federal high security prison, with guys that tried to kill govt officials and who tried to knockover fort knox.

So...if you do it, seriously think about a break for a while...lay low until this blows over...might be a long time (god i hope not...i might have to buy cd's)

Just lookin out for my hs buddies

I just started doing this Kazaa shiet last week. I was really amazed about how easy it is to find the music that I like and DL it........ now they are starting to crack down on this

sad but true...i never thought it would really get to this...people actually getting arrested by fbi...crazy

In lieu of stopping completely, what I've been doing as a precaution is to simply keep the files in my shared folder to a minimum. If you use Kazaa, all the files you share go into a folder. I just take most of them and move them to other folders. Since the laws target people who are sharing large volumes of files, this should protect you for a while.

But as a matter of opinion, this whole thing is ridiculous. Hopefully it does blow over soon.

D/L music and porn is illegal¿

*pdiggitydogg* · 07-26-2003, 08:12 AM

well originally it was focused on those who shared the files...now its sharing OR/AND downloading...either one can get you busted.

Yes, kazaa

Yes porn is illegal too (they do have copyrights)
