It's going to be about Music Copyright Piracy on the internet. History, current issues, new laws, etc.

Before 2 weeks ago, I hadn't bought a cd in about 2 years. Until Ludacris Chicken and Beer came out, of course. But really i dont see any point in buying if u can get it free. I mean, most artists are set for life anyways. They dont need the extra money. what are they gonna do with it. buy a new ferrari?

Most of the stuff I'm after is old and not produced any more dowloading off the net is the only way to obtain these files

I'll be honest, in all my life i've bought about 3 cd's(I'm 13). I never really liked music when i was younger, and have always been using kazaa to make cd's

I think that downloading music would help artists. In the past couple of months, I have bought three CDs because I liked a file I downloaded. If I have never heard an artist, I'm not going to buy the CD unless I know I like them.

watch out on kazaa, a company called big champagne has been launched that tracks EVERY download, they know what has been downloaded right down to the postcode. And I know it works, I have seen it working!

I've used a program called Overnet but I find Kazaa is much better.

kazaa lite is the way to go. I download my music because its a lot easier than going to the store and buying a cd with one or two good songs on it. artists should start producing better stuff before they complain about filesharing. Filesharing allows you to not get screwed paying 20 bucks for a crappy cd.

I never use Kazaa, or any other of those programs...
The program itself isn't illegal, as you might know, but too many people use it in a illegal way...
Example 1:
You find a cd in a music shop, and put in your pocket. You walk out of the shop, with the cd in your pocket, while thinking: "Why buy it, if I can get it for free?"...this is called stealing, and is illegal, right?
Example 2:
You're downloading illegal music files to your computer, and are thinking: "Why buy it, if I can get it for free?"...but this isn't stealing?? this isn't illegal?? I cant see much difference between those two situations, but maybe thats just me...

But if they shut down Kazaa, people will just use another program...
And maybe I understand, that some people want to listen to the music, before they buy it...
But think...what did people do, back in those days, when there were no Kazaa?
